KLA Corporation Company Profile and Business Model

KLA says it provides process-control, inspection, metrology and yield-management solutions to the semiconductor and related electronics industries. The company reports in **three reportable segments**: Semiconductor Process Control (inspection, metrology, data-analytics products and related services), Specialty Semiconductor Process (advanced vacuum deposition and etching process tools), and PCB and Component Inspection (inspection, test and measurement for printed circuit boards, flat-panel displays and integrated circuits).

Semiconductor Process Control was approximately 90% of fiscal 2026 segment revenue, with Specialty Semiconductor Process and PCB and Component Inspection making up the remainder (calculated, table below). Geographically, China (30%), Taiwan (27%) and Korea (14%) were the three largest markets by fiscal 2026 revenue, together with North America (13%), Japan (7%), Europe and Israel (5%) and the rest of Asia (5%) (calculated shares, table below).

The fiscal 2026 10-K (filed August 6, 2026) lists Richard P. Wallace as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Bren D. Higgins as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. This section profiles the listed company; for other semiconductor-equipment suppliers already covered, see SaGeminieTech’s Lam Research, ASML and Applied Materials company profiles.

Segment revenues exclude corporate allocations and the effects of changes in foreign-currency exchange rates, so the segment total differs slightly from consolidated total revenue shown elsewhere on this page ($13,579 million). KLA operates in **three reportable segments**.

Revenue is attributed by ship-to location, not necessarily the location of end use. China, Taiwan and Korea together were approximately 70% of fiscal 2026 revenue (calculated).

KLA Corporation Technical Analysis

This widget summarizes technical indicators — moving averages, oscillators and overall signal counts — for KLAC across selected timeframes.

KLA Corporation Historical Stock-Price Overview

The overview below covers KLAC price and percentage change across several date ranges, with volume and moving-average context. KLA’s reported revenue rose from $9,812 million in fiscal 2024 to $13,579 million in fiscal 2026 (table above), while operating margin, calculated from reported figures, moved from 34.1% to 41.7% over the same period. Price history is best interpreted alongside those developments, the June 2026 stock split, and the export-control and customer-concentration factors the company’s own filings describe, rather than in isolation.

KLA Corporation Shariah Compliance Snapshot

The snapshot below reflects third-party Shariah screening for KLAC based on AAOIFI-derived methodology, as reported by two providers, Zoya and Musaffa, plus figures independently calculated by SaGeminieTech from KLA’s SEC filings and a market-capitalization snapshot. Both provider pages were read on 2026-09-24. Screening results change as market capitalization, debt, cash and non-permissible income change — treat this as a starting reference for further verification, not a certification, and not investment or religious guidance.

Current StatusZoya screens KLAC as Shariah-compliant (zoya.finance/stocks/klac; AAOIFI standard; last updated September 2026) and Musaffa classifies it as HALAL with an A- rating (musaffa.com/stock/KLAC; AAOIFI-based methodology; last updated September 14, 2026, 2026 Annual Report basis). The two sources agree as of 2026-09-24 on business activity and overall classification.

Debt / Market CapIndependently calculated: 2.40%. KLA’s fiscal 2026 10-K reports long-term debt of $5,887 million at June 30, 2026, divided by a market capitalization of $245,160 million as of market close 2026-09-23 (stockanalysis.com). Well under the commonly cited 30–33% threshold. See the calculation table below.

Cash + Securities / Market CapIndependently calculated: 2.00%. Cash and marketable securities of $4,902 million at June 30, 2026, divided by the same $245,160 million market capitalization. Well under the commonly cited 30–33% threshold.

Non-Permissible IncomeZoya’s public page states KLA “has not reported any interest income” for fiscal 2026; this does not match the 10-K’s own XBRL data, which tags $177 million of interest income (tag InvestmentIncomeInterest) on revenue of $13,579 million. Computed independently from the filing: 177 ÷ (13,579 + 177) = 1.29% of the combined total, below the 5% threshold both providers cite, but flagged here because Zoya’s stated basis for its verdict is inaccurate on this point, as it was for Applied Materials and Twilio on earlier SaGeminieTech pages.

Business ActivitySemiconductor, PCB and display process-control, inspection, metrology and yield-management equipment and software. No lending, conventional banking, insurance, gambling or alcohol-related activity was found in the 10-K’s description of the business.

Screening BasisAAOIFI Standard (per Zoya’s and Musaffa’s stated methodologies), cross-checked here against KLA’s own fiscal 2026 Form 10-K and a same-day market-capitalization snapshot. The two providers cite different report-basis dates (Zoya: fiscal year ended June 30, 2026; Musaffa: 2026 Annual Report), so their agreement is not necessarily on an identical time base.

Last ReviewedZoya last updated September 2026; Musaffa last updated September 14, 2026. Both provider pages were read on 2026-09-24; the debt, cash and income figures were independently recalculated from the 10-K and a 2026-09-23 market-capitalization snapshot as shown above.

KLA Corporation AAOIFI-style screening ratios — independently calculated
Ratio	Numerator	Denominator	Result	Commonly cited threshold
Interest-bearing debt ÷ market capitalization	Long-term debt: $5,887 million (10-K, June 30, 2026)	Market capitalization: $245,160 million ([stockanalysis.com](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/klac/), close 2026-09-23)	2.40%	< 30–33%
(Cash + interest-bearing securities) ÷ market capitalization	Cash + marketable securities: $4,902 million (10-K, June 30, 2026)	Market capitalization: $245,160 million ([stockanalysis.com](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/klac/), close 2026-09-23)	2.00%	< 30–33%
Non-permissible (interest) income ÷ (revenue + interest income)	Interest income: $177 million (10-K XBRL, FY2026, tag InvestmentIncomeInterest)	Revenue + interest income: $13,579m + $177m = $13,756m	1.29%	< 5%

Market capitalization is a point-in-time figure (2026-09-23 close) applied against fiscal-year-end balance-sheet figures (June 30, 2026); it will move daily and these ratios should be recalculated before relying on them. Thresholds shown are the ranges commonly cited under AAOIFI-derived screening methodologies (including by Zoya and Musaffa); this page does not adopt one specific scholar’s threshold as authoritative.

This snapshot is a screening summary for research purposes, not a certification of Shariah compliance and not investment or religious guidance. All three AAOIFI-style ratios were independently calculated for this page and fall well under commonly cited thresholds, but market capitalization changes daily and these figures should be recalculated before relying on them. Confirm the latest status directly with Zoya, with Musaffa, or with a qualified Shariah adviser before relying on any compliance conclusion.

Key Investor Considerations for KLA Corporation

Potential Strengths

Revenue of $13,579 million in fiscal 2026, up from $12,156 million in fiscal 2025 and $9,812 million in fiscal 2024 (company-reported)
Operating margin of 41.7% and gross margin of 61.3% in fiscal 2026, both improving versus fiscal 2024 (calculated from reported figures)
Net cash provided by operating activities of $4,143 million in fiscal 2026, with cash and marketable securities of $4,902 million against long-term debt of $5,887 million at fiscal year-end (calculated)
Three-segment structure led by Semiconductor Process Control, with services and recurring revenue from an expanding installed base
Ongoing capital return: a quarterly dividend of $0.230 per share (post-split) declared August 6, 2026, and approximately $9.74 billion remaining under the share-repurchase authorization

Material Risks

Customer concentration: one customer accounted for approximately 19% of total revenues in each of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025
Geographic and export-control exposure: China, Taiwan and Korea together were about 70% of fiscal 2026 revenue (calculated), and the 10-K discusses the adverse impact of export controls and tariffs on results of operations, particularly regarding China
Cyclicality: semiconductor-equipment demand depends on customers’ capital-spending plans, which historically have been variable
Segment concentration: Semiconductor Process Control is the large majority of segment revenue, so results depend heavily on that single segment’s demand cycle
Recent stock split: the June 11, 2026 ten-for-one split changes per-share comparisons; historical price and EPS data must be checked for split-adjustment
Interest-bearing debt of $5,887 million at fiscal year-end, which the 10-K notes carries its own covenant and refinancing considerations

Did KLA have a stock split?

Yes. KLA effected a ten-for-one stock split of its common stock on June 11, 2026. All share and per-share figures in the fiscal 2026 10-K, and on this page, are presented on a post-split basis.

Does KLA pay dividends and buy back shares?

Yes. KLA’s Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.230 per share (post-split) on August 6, 2026, and approximately $9.74 billion remained available under its share-repurchase authorization at fiscal year-end June 30, 2026, following a $7.00 billion increase approved in March 2026. Confirm current terms on KLA’s investor relations page.

Is KLA exposed to China and export controls?

The 10-K states that regulations affecting trade, including export controls and tariffs, have had an adverse impact on results of operations, and identifies China as a market where this exposure is significant. China was approximately 30% of fiscal 2026 revenue by ship-to location.

Is KLA stock currently Shariah compliant?

Zoya screens KLAC as Shariah-compliant (last updated September 2026) and Musaffa classifies it as HALAL with an A- rating (last updated September 14, 2026), both under AAOIFI-based methodologies. SaGeminieTech independently calculated all three AAOIFI-style ratios from the 10-K and a same-day market-capitalization snapshot: debt/market cap 2.40%, cash+securities/market cap 2.00%, and non-permissible income 1.29% — all under commonly cited thresholds, though Zoya’s own stated basis for the interest-income figure is inaccurate. This is a screening summary, not a compliance certification — check a current, named screening source or a qualified Shariah adviser before relying on any status.

Conclusion

KLA is a large semiconductor process-control and yield-management equipment supplier whose fiscal 2026 revenue of $13,579 million and operating income of $5,660 million (calculated) reflect continued demand tied to advanced semiconductor manufacturing, alongside a ten-for-one stock split and continued capital return through dividends and buybacks. That profile is balanced against concentration in a small number of large customers, heavy exposure to China, Taiwan and Korea alongside disclosed export-control and tariff risk, the historical cyclicality of semiconductor capital spending, and a business that remains concentrated in its Semiconductor Process Control segment. SaGeminieTech independently verified KLA’s Shariah-screening ratios against its own SEC filings and a same-day market-capitalization snapshot, finding all three commonly used AAOIFI-style ratios well under typical thresholds. The tools on this page — charts, financials, technical indicators and news — support ongoing research into KLA, but they do not replace a review of its official filings or independent financial, legal, tax or Shariah advice.
