2. Applied Materials
Applied Materials (AMAT) also provides lithography equipment, as well as other machinery used in fabs like gas pumps and inspection machines. AMAT also has a business segment dedicated to the ultra-high definition OLED display manufacturing industry, providing another area of exposure to some of the highest-growth areas of the tech world.
Service revenue also features prominently here at just under one-quarter of sales. Software is again the key as the company helps its customers increase the output and utility of their fab equipment.
AMAT is not growing nearly as fast as ASML is. Revenue increased "only" 24% year over year in its latest quarter, and the company is anticipating a 36% rise during the next one. However, it too is enjoying an even faster pace of earnings growth as its customers buy new equipment and complementary software.
3. Lam Research
Lam competes directly with AMAT, providing many of the same systems and processes minus the OLED screen segment. Lam specializes in equipment that helps fabs print the many layers of transistors in some of the most advanced chips. However, the company does derive more of its revenue from services, clocking in at just over one-third of sales. Lam has thus been one of the more stable equipment manufacturers over time owing to this high rate of services income.
Lam is also returning gobs of excess cash to shareholders, primarily via stock repurchases. In fact, factoring for this high rate of cash returned (dividends plus share repurchases totaled $1.28 billion during the last quarter alone, or 33% of revenue) makes Lam the best income investor stock on this list.
4. Tokyo Electron
Tokyo Electron also provides various systems that help prepare and print layers of metal on silicon. And like AMAT, Tokyo Electron also has a hand in the making of high-performance screens for devices. It isn't growing as fast as AMAT or Lam, but nonetheless is expanding at a respectable rate -- 19% so far during its current fiscal year.
China, in particular, is investing heavily to ramp up its domestic production of chips, and this could be a key ingredient in Tokyo Electron's growth going forward. China was its largest end market in the last year, comprising nearly one-quarter of total revenue. Taiwan, also a primary supplier for China's rapidly growing demand for semiconductors, made up another 16% of Tokyo Electron's sales.
5. KLA Corp.
By far the smallest company here, KLA's equipment helps with the fabrication of wafers (the substrate circuits are built on) to packaging (the final step in the manufacturing process in which a chip is encased in a protective layer), as well as electronic device screens. KLA is also the slowest-growing company on this list (revenue was up 9% last quarter), but sales and earnings are pointing higher as the global chip shortage deepens.
Despite the tame financial results compared to its peers, KLA is worth a look for income investors. The company's dividend currently yields 1.1% a year, and share repurchases double the effective yield on return of cash to shareholders.
