A couple of notable disclosures from this afternoon's earnings calls (transcripts via Quartr):
1) $KLAC is hiking its 2026 WFE forecast to the low-$150B range from $140B plus (compares with 2025 WFE of ~$120B), and now sees its advanced packaging revenue growing 70%+ Y/Y (up from a prior high-50s guide).
2) $BE says its backlog is growing faster than revenue. For context, backlog was $20B at the end of 2025, and revenue was up 165.5% Y/Y in Q2.
