CoPoS is a Bigger Canvas for Chiplets and HBM
Is a Semiconductor Equipment Pause Coming?
– Lam put up good numbers but H2 outlook was flat with unknown 2026
– China remains high & exposed at 35% of biz while US is a measly 6%
– Unclear if this is peak, pause, digestion, technology or normal cycle
– Coupled with ASML soft outlook & stock run ups means profit taking
Nice quarter but expected
