What happened: Lam Research (LRCX), a leading semiconductor equipment supplier, reported strong Q2 FY26 results, beating revenue and EPS estimates by 2.01% and 8.7% respectively. The company guided Q3 revenue to $5.70B, despite expecting gross margin compression to approximately 49.0% due to tariff pressures and customer mix.

Market impact: The semiconductor industry and related supply chains are affected. LRCX's strong performance signals robust demand for chips, driving growth in the sector. The expected margin compression, however, indicates potential headwinds for the industry due to tariff pressures.
