At the same time, we removed the rating from CreditWatch, where it had been placed with positive implications on April 11, 2008. The outlook is stable. The rating action follows Lam's strong performance during the upside of the most recent semiconductor cycle; its more variable cost structure, which should enable it to perform better in the current downturn than it has in prior cycles; and its moderate leverage.
