MILPITAS, Calif. , Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- KLA Corporation (NASDAQ: KLAC) is announcing a 17% increase in the quarterly dividend level to $1.70 per share from $1.45 per share beginning with the quarterly dividend expected to be declared in November 2024, the fifteenth consecutive annual increase in the quarterly dividend level for KLA.
