KLA-Tencor Corp.

KLA-Tencor Corp. is among the world’s largest Semiconductor Equipment sector businesses in the world.  KLA-Tencor Corp.’s employees generate $509.7M in profits on $2.574B of revenue.  Global output in the Semiconductor Equipment business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but KLA-Tencor Corp. is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Semiconductor Equipment segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

KLA-Tencor Corp.’s ticker symbol KLAC has recently been trading near $55.50 a share.  The KLA-Tencor Corp. corporate headquarters in San Jose CA predicts Semiconductor Equipment profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $10.635B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 2.58, the company is more volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves higher, KLA-Tencor Corp. moves more aggressively.
