Stock Information
Our Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market SM under the symbol “LRCX.” As of August 4, 2026, we had 305 stockholders of record. A substantially greater number of holders of our Common Stock are street name or beneficial holders, whose shares are held by banks, brokers and other financial institutions.
Dividends
Our Board of Directors has declared quarterly dividends since April 2014. Our intent to continue to pay quarterly dividends is subject to capital availability and periodic determinations by our Board of Directors that cash dividends are in the best interest of our stockholders and are in compliance with all laws and agreements applicable to the declaration and payment of cash dividends by us. During fiscal year 2026, our quarterly dividend declared was $0.26 per share.
Repurchases of Company Shares
In May 2024, the Board of Directors authorized management to repurchase up to an additional $10.00 billion of Common Stock; this authorization supplements the remaining balance from any prior authorization. These repurchases can be conducted on the open market or as private purchases and may include the use of derivative contracts with large financial institutions, in all cases subject to compliance with applicable law. This repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreements
On March 11, 2026, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “March 2026 ASR”) with a financial institution to repurchase a total of $200.0 million of Common Stock. We took an initial delivery of approximately 685 thousand shares, which represented 75% of the prepayment amount divided by our closing stock price on March 11, 2026. The total number of shares received under the March 2026 ASR was based upon the average daily volume weighted average price of our Common Stock during the repurchase period, less an agreed upon discount. Final settlement of the March 2026 ASRs occurred in June 2026, resulting in the receipt of approximately 55 thousand additional shares, which yielded a weighted-average share price of $270.71 for the transaction period, including the effects of a 1% excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act.
On April 30, 2025, we entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (the "April 2025 ASRs") with two financial institutions to repurchase a total of $500.0 million of Common Stock. We took an initial delivery of approximately 5.2 million shares, which represented 75% of the prepayment amount divided by our closing stock price on April 30, 2025. The total number of shares received under the April 2025 ASRs was based upon the average daily volume weighted average price of our Common Stock during the repurchase period, less an agreed upon discount. Final settlement of the April 2025 ASRs occurred in September 2025, resulting in the receipt of approximately 317 thousand additional shares, which yielded a weighted-average share price of $91.00 for the transaction period, including the effects of a 1% excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act.
