As a reminder, my thesis is to pick good companies at good pricies that pay dividends. Companies that I would be pleased to own if the market shut down for a year.

KLAC certainly meets that criteria. They pay a nice 2.3% dividend that has been steadily raised over time. They have a great balance sheet with $1.8b in cash, or almost $11 per share. They have been solidly beating expectations, yet have a ev/ebit of a bit over 6x.
