$LRCX Bottom Fishing After ER

29 Eki

LRCX I bought a half size position on the initial earnings pop and I just brought it up to a full size position. I rarely bottom fish a stock but this one sold off hard into earnings and then beat expectations. It really needs to get up and over the 50 DMA (red) and the DT line to prove it is going to run but I like it here and have my stop just below the earnings gap up which makes for a great risk reward trade. I will not lose much if I am wrong.

From TradingView
In the week heading into the first quarter earnings report for its 2025 fiscal year (FY), Lam Research Corp.
LRCX
stock was down nearly 15%. Furthermore, analysts were lowering their price targets for LRCX stock over concerns of slowing growth that would make it difficult to see the stock outperforming the market.

However, the stock is reversing course with a gain of over 4% in early trading the morning after the company’s earnings report. Is this a temporary lift or a sign that Lam Research may be proving its naysayers wrong?
