Ultime notizie per ASML Holding (NASDAQ:ASML) Azioni

ASML Holding

ASML is the leader in photolithography systems used in manufacturing semiconductors. Photolithography is the process in which a light source is used to expose circuit patterns from a photo mask onto a semiconductor wafer. The latest technological advances in this segment allow chipmakers to continually increase the number of transistors on the same area of silicon, with lithography historically representing a high portion of the cost of making cutting-edge chips. ASML outsources the manufacturing of most of its parts, acting like an assembler. ASML's main clients are TSMC, Samsung, and Intel.

Shares of companies in the broader technology sector are trading higher. The sector may be rising amid an overall rebound after investor uncertainty and several risk factors led to markets entering correction territory last week.

Renowned trader and chartist Larry Williams believes the market is ready to rally after falling into correction territory last week — and he has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44355195/retail-sales-rebound-less-than-expected-in-february-online-healthcare-spending-show-strong-gains">a few ways to play it</a>.
What To Know: The S&amp;P 500 officially closed in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44341328/stocks-enter-correction-zone-tariff-fears-hammer-consumer-confidence-inflation-wo">correction territory</a> on Thursday, representing the fastest market correction decline since March 2020. Everyone wants to know what&#8217;s going to happen next and Williams believes he has answers.
In a YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vnzm-qltxs">video</a> posted by StockCharts TV on Saturday, Williams explained that he sees a rally ahead because the market is undervalued, smart money has been buying and cycle data says it&#8217;s time to buy.
&#8220;You can have a good stock but if you don&#8217;t buy it at the right time you can still have problems &#8230; right here right now is probably the right time,&#8221; Williams said.
Some stocks that he&#8217;s watching include Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
Smart money has proven to be a strong predictor of Tesla&#8217;s future stock performance based on Williams&#8217; charts. The trader noted that smart money stepped out of Tesla stock last year but money has started to flow back in as the stock has given back some of its gains. 
&#8220;When I look at the conditions of this stock, I see what I like to see,&#8221; Williams said, adding that it&#8217;s undervalued, a bullish cycle should be coming and smart money is starting to buy the name.

Nvidia is another stock that fits the bill and could be poised to rip higher, according to Williams. The legendary trader said Nvidia shares just recently reached undervalued territory in his model. At the same time, smart money is starting to buy more aggressively. 
Williams noted that the one thing he doesn&#8217;t like on the Nvidia chart is that the stock recently made a lower low than it did in January. He offered <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/asml">ASML Holding</a> as a potential alternative as it has held up better than Nvidia during the most recent selloff. 
&#8220;This was in stronger hands coming down than Nvidia was coming down. I like to buy stocks that have been in strong hands,&#8221; Williams said. 
Finally, Williams highlighted <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/aapl">Apple</a> as potentially being ripe for a bounce. The stock is at a point where it&#8217;s expected to rally based on seasonal patterns. Apple shares also held up comparatively better than the overall market during the most recent selloff, he said. 
In order for any of these stocks to work, the overall market is going to need to recover. Williams believes the market is set to do just that if the Trump administration can put an end to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44348859/trump-says-he-was-little-bit-sarcastic-when-he-said-he-would-end-the-russia-ukraine-war-in-a-day-what-i-really-mean-is">war in Ukraine</a>. 
&#8220;I think that is most likely going to be the trigger mechanism to see things like Apple start to move back to the upside,&#8221; Williams said.
Price Action: At publication time, Tesla shares were down 5.95% at $235, Nvidia shares were down 1.7% at $119.59, ASML Holding shares were down 1.57% at $725.02 and Apple shares were down 1.28% at $210.75, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Shares of semiconductor stocks are trading higher as investors assess US trade and investment policy. Stocks across sectors rose on reports President Trump will delay auto tariffs.

The chip equipment maker pointed at the U.S. semiconductor embargo on China for affecting customer demand in 2024.
The company said several ASML customers slashed their capital expenditures amid macroeconomic uncertainty perpetrated by the U.S. semiconductor technology sanctions, including artificial intelligence.

ASML said that a growing number of entities in China, which accounted for 36% of sales in 2024, are now subject to restrictions.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43541019/chip-equipment-stocks-gain-traction-as-ai-demand-tsmcs-capex-and-semiconductor-expansion-drive-valuations" rel="noreferrer noopener">According to SEMI</a>, China, Taiwan, and Korea will likely remain the top three destinations&nbsp;for equipment spending through 2026.&nbsp;
Under Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency, Washington restricted Chinese smartphone giant Huawei&#8217;s access to advanced semiconductor technology in 2019, citing national security threats.
The U.S. initiated several semiconductor sanctions on China in 2022 (during Joe Biden&#8217;s presidency), citing national security threats, while simultaneously, the country started ramping up its semiconductor base to reduce dependence on China.
The 2020 pandemic prompted the U.S. and other countries to tap chipmakers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) to build their semiconductor fabs to develop advanced semiconductor chips that go into electronic devices ranging from smartphones, PCs to automobiles.
Last week, Intel&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43938789/intel-deploys-asmls-advanced-euv-machines-aims-to-challenge-taiwan-semiconductors-lead" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced that the</a> first two advanced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines from&nbsp;ASML were &#8220;in production&#8221; at its factories. Reportedly, Intel took seven years to put those earlier machines into full production, which contributed to losing its edge to&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor.
ASML stock plunged over 24% in the last 12 months. During that period, at least eight Wall Street firms cut their price targets on the stock after it failed to impress the Market with its outlook. The U.S. embargo on China, a key ASML market, affected its outlook.
Additionally, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44125598/intel-panther-lake-delay-pushes-key-notebook-launch-to-2026-stock-drops-8" rel="noreferrer noopener">struggling chipmaker Intel</a> is a key client of ASML. Therefore, reports of a possible takeover or split of the company may impact ASML demand.
Price Action: ASML stock is up 2.63% at $726.84 premarket at last check Wednesday.

The chipmaker invested over $65 billion in its Arizona fabs to develop advanced chips.
The company only builds its most advanced chip-making facilities on its home soil, Taiwan. Its chips are critical for powering everything from the latest artificial intelligence systems to smartphones.&nbsp;

The factory, one of two Intel plans to build in Ohio, was initially likely to begin operating in 2025. Intel might not likely be able to complete constructing the first factory in New Albany until 2030, Reuters reports. Reportedly, Intel has invested $3.7 billion locally.

$100 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Shares of semiconductor companies are trading higher in anticipation of Nvidia's Q4 earnings which are scheduled to be reported after hours today. Additionally, large AI investment announcements from Apple and Meta this week may be buoying the industry.

Huawei Technologies Co has significantly improved the amount of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41119735/nvidia-faces-new-competition-cerebras-files-for-ipo-huawei-pushes-ai-chips" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced artificial intelligence chips</a> it can produce. The Chinese information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices provider has increased the &#8220;yield&#8221; or the percentage of functional chips made on the production line of its latest AI chips to ~40%, doubling from 20% about a year ago, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/f46b7f6d-62ed-4b64-8ad7-2417e5ab34f6" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
The improved yield means that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/25/01/43096797/huawei-wants-to-take-nvidias-place-in-ai-in-china-shifts-focus-to-inference-over-training" rel="noreferrer noopener">Huawei&#8217;s production line</a> for Ascend chips has become profitable for the first time, the FT cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

The company aims to improve yields to 60%, the industry standard for similar chips. Huawei currently accounts for more than three-quarters of the overall output of AI chips in China, the FT cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
Beijing urged local tech companies to buy more of Huawei&#8217;s AI chips and shift away from the U.S. chipmaker Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which remains the market leader in China by far.
Nvidia dominates the AI chip market as Huawei struggles to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40692210/nvidia-maintains-ai-chip-dominance-as-huawei-struggles-to-compete-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">match CUDA&#8217;s efficiency</a> despite efforts to compete with its Ascend series.
Washington forced contract chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) to stop making Ascend and advanced smartphone chips in 2020 after the country blocked Huawei from accessing U.S. technology manufacturing.
Austin Lyons of Creative Strategies compared Huawei&#8217;s production to Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s estimated 60% yield for producing Nvidia&#8217;s H100 AI processor.
Huawei tapped the sanctioned Chinese fabrication group Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp to relaunch its Ascend chip. The U.S. sanctions prohibited China from procuring advanced chipmaking equipment from the Dutch group ASML Holding (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>).
Huawei plans to produce 100,000 910C processors and 300,000 910B chips this year, the FT cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
