Earnings quality is solid, while sales and earnings are growing at a solid clip. ROIC is in the double digits and showing a positive trend. Cash yield is almost 10% and Days Sales Outstanding is also showing a positive trend over the past few years.

KLA-Tencor is also an equipment provider, for semiconductor production. The firm has a dominant position in yield management and process monitoring equipment. Some of the growth here is coming on a cyclical spike off of 2009's recessionary levels, but KLA's $3.3 billion in revenues over the past 12 months is still a company record. Given the proliferation of electronics in almost everything from mobile devices to automobiles to toys, there remains an undercurrent of growth that KLAC is set to benefit from for many years.
