shares slipped 1.4% after hours, following a 4.6% gain to close the regular session at $467.66.
The company reported fiscal fourth-quarter net income of $1.21 billion, or $8.74 a share, compared with $1.02 billion, or $7.30 a share, in the year-ago period. Adjusted earnings, which exclude amortization and other items, were $8.83 a share.
Revenue rose to $4.64 billion from $4.15 billion in the year-ago quarter. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast adjusted earnings of $7.32 a share on revenue of $4.21 billion, based on Lam’s forecast of $6.50 to $8 a share on sales of $3.9 billion to $4.5 billion.
“Lam delivered record levels of revenue and earnings per share in the June quarter, while continuing to operate in a supply-constrained environment,” said Lam Research Chief Executive Tim Archer in a statement.
Lam forecast fiscal first-quarter adjusted earnings of $8.75 to $10.25 a share on sales of $4.6 billion to $5.2 billion. Analysts on average were projecting earnings of $8.72 a share on revenue of $4.63 billion for the the first quarter, according to FactSet.
Supply-chain issues have dogged the company since last year, as it has other companies in the space like KLA Corp.
