For the fiscal first quarter, the company expects revenues between $1.92 billion and $2.12 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales is pegged at $2.02 billion, indicating growth of 31.6% from the year-ago reported value.

Increasing customer demand across each of KLA Corp.’s major product groups is likely to have aided the company’s fiscal first-quarter performance.
Solid momentum in wafer fabrication equipment is expected to have continued aiding its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Growing investments in advanced laser, sensor, optics and data analytics technologies might get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Strength in optical pattern wafer inspection is anticipated to have persistently driven the company’s semiconductor process control segment in the quarter under review.
Also, increasing investments in the advanced packaging market for boosting the adoption of new technologies might get reflected in the soon-to-be-reported quarterly results.
Growing investments in foundry, logic and memory might have contributed well to the semiconductor process control systems business in the quarter under discussion.
Further, strength in services due to growing installed base, higher utilization rate and expanding service opportunities in the trailing edge, and the Electronics, Packaging, and Components group is anticipated to have aided its performance in the quarter under review.
