Micron has increased its capital expenditure guidance to $25 billion for fiscal year 2026, sparking a construction and equipment spending surge in the memory chip industry. This growth directly benefits wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) vendors like Lam Research (LRCX), Applied Materials (AMAT), and KLA Corporation (KLAC), which are well-positioned to capitalize on the rising demand for cleanroom and manufacturing tools.
