The recent sale of thousands of shares by key executives at KLA Corp has left investors speculating and alarmed as to the future of the promising semiconductor company that has experienced unprecedented growth in recent months. Despite reporting quarterly earnings of $2.43 billion, exceeding analyst estimates, CFO Bren D Higgins has sold 6,964 shares at an average price of $382.43, and EVP Brian Lorig has also dumped a considerable number of shares.
Trading volume has remained low, and KLA Corp stock fell 1.08% on May 2nd, ending in its second consecutive day of losses. While KLAC has a market capitalization of $53.53 billion, its 50-day moving average stands at $378.98 and its two-hundred-day moving average resting at $375.22. KLA Corp has a current ratio of 2.35 and a quick ratio of 1:61, signaling the firm is well-positioned in terms of cash flows.
It is unclear what prompted these sales, and insiders are not very forthcoming. Despite consistent growth, shareholders and investors continue to speculate and remain concerned about the future of the business venture.
