Analysis

KLA does not disclose AI-specific revenue. In the Jul-Sep 2023 quarter, total revenue was $2,397M. AI chip demand was accelerating rapidly -- NVIDIA was shipping H100s at scale, and hyperscalers were placing large orders for leading-edge logic and HBM. KLA benefits from this as a critical supplier of inspection/metrology equipment for advanced nodes. However, KLA's overall revenue was declining year-over-year (from $2,724M), reflecting broader semi cycle weakness in non-AI segments like smartphones and PCs. AI was becoming a larger share of a shrinking pie. Conservative estimate: ~7% of $2,397M = ~$168M attributable to AI chip manufacturing demand.
