Susquehanna is cautious on KLA-Tencor (KLAC), Lam Research (LRCX) and Teradyne (TER) heading into earnings season. The firm expects SEMICON West to underwhelm and for industry spending expectations to come down. Susquehanna believes margin expansion and cost structure will come into increased focus at SEMICON Analyst events ans upcoming conference calls. Furthermore, the firm doesn't expect 3D NAND to be a major contributor to KLA-Tencor, sees limited incremental catalysts for Lam Research heading into its Analyst Day on July 14, and anticipates a seasonally softer 2H for Teradyne in the core semi test business.
