The company has successfully expanded beyond its traditional NAND focus by increasing its operations in foundry and logic. The expansion was the catalyst behind foundry and logic revenue increasing 49% in 2025. On the other hand, the advanced packaging segment is projected to grow by 40% in 2026. Strong growth in the foundry will also be  driven by the demand for artificial intelligence.

The growth will come as Lam Research continues to expand its manufacturing footprint in Asia. It has also committed to spending $2.5 billion annually on research and development investment. The company is to focus on DRAM investments, seen as a key driver of underlying growth amid the AI boom.
