Parnassus Mid Cap Growth Fund Ian Sexsmith, Robert Klaber | “KLA benefited from another strong earnings report as customers continued investing heavily in AI-related semiconductor manufacturing. The company's tools are essential for improving yields at advanced process nodes, making it a key enabler of the AI infrastructure build-out. Consistent execution and high-margin service revenues supported strong shareholder returns. BSD Analysis: KLA's inspection and metrology tools are non-negotiable as nodes shrink and defect tolerance collapses. Advanced manufacturing makes inspection more valuable, not less. Semiconductor cycles push revenue timing, not relevance. The lack of true substitutes turns customer concentration into pricing power. Margins look like monopoly economics because they effectively are. Investors overreact to capex pauses. AI and advanced packaging increase inspection density. KLA sells certainty in an uncertain process. Complexity pays tolls here.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
