Just wondering about the general sentiment regarding KLA's performance and outlook for the rest of the year. The semiconductor industry has been a bit wild lately, with some sectors booming and others cooling off. While KLA has historically been strong, are there any specific headwinds or tailwinds you all are seeing that might impact us? I'm not talking about layoffs specifically, but more about overall business health, new orders, competition, etc. It feels like the market is becoming more volatile, and I'm trying to get a better sense of where we stand. Any insights from people closer to the business operations or sales side would be greatly appreciated. Trying to make informed decisions about my own path here.

KLA seems to be navigating the semiconductor cycle pretty effectively. While some areas are definitely seeing pressure, their focus on essential process control and metrology tools means they're often tied to longer-term fab investments rather than just short-term device demand swings. I'd expect them to remain resilient, though perhaps not immune to broader industry caution impacting new order placements if fab utilization dips significantly. Keep an eye on their trailing twelve-month order trends for a better read on the real demand picture.
