KLA Rings NASDAQ Bell, Celebrating 50 Years of Innovation

On Thursday, March 12, KLA executives and employees concluded the KLA 2026 Investor Day with a visit to NASDAQ in New York City – ringing the closing bell and celebrating KLA’s 50 years of customer collaboration, breakthrough innovations and consistent execution. As one of only six companies remaining from the inaugural list of NASDAQ-100 companies, the moment highlighted decades of accomplishments and reinforced KLA’s position as a global leader in the semiconductor industry.

“There has never been a better time to be in the semiconductor industry. And it’s an exceptionally good time for KLA because so much of the infrastructure buildout required to support the explosive growth of AI relies on process control equipment from KLA”

– Rick Wallace, KLA CEO

CEO Rick Wallace was joined by CFO Bren Higgins, President of Semiconductor Products and Customers, Ahmad Khan, and EVP of KLA Global Services Brian Lorig to share performance updates from KLA’s systems and services businesses and outline the path to 2030. In addition to the presentations, event guests had opportunities to interact with a technology showcase that included a selection of components from KLA’s process control tools, as well as augmented reality demonstrations.
