On September 17, KLA Corporation rose 3.24% in pre-market trading, trading at $172.71/share, with turnover of $2.1737 million, staging a technical rebound following a steep multi-day selloff.
On the news front, JPMorgan raised its wafer fabrication equipment market growth forecast, lifting its 2026 estimate from 28% to 31% ($163 billion) and its 2027 projection from 29% to 38% ($225 billion), providing fundamental support for the semiconductor equipment sector. KLA Corporation had been under significant pressure in recent sessions, falling 7.15% on September 14 amid UBS cutting its target price from $215 to $200 while maintaining a neutral rating, compounded by escalating US-China trade tensions and tightened semiconductor export controls.
