ASML--
ASML develops and sells lithography, metrology, and inspection systems, which are essential for chip manufacturing. The company's focus on High Numerical Aperture (High NA) Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology positions it as a key player in the AI-driven semiconductor industry. EUV technology enables sharper imaging and higher productivity, allowing chipmakers to produce smaller, more efficient nodes and improve performance at lower costs [1].
ASML's strategic moat in AI supply chain enables compounding value through EUV tool sales and service contracts, positioning it as a long-term semiconductor leader. Recent analyst upgrades and robust financial performance underscore its strategic dominance. UBS Group, for instance, upgraded ASML to "Buy" with a €750 price target, citing strong gross margins and revenue growth [3].
ASML's competitive advantages are reflected in its financial performance. The company's gross margin of 53.7% in Q2 2025 and projected 15% annual revenue growth for 2025 outperform peers like AMD and TSMC. Despite macroeconomic headwinds, ASML's leadership in EUV lithography and its role in enabling the next generation of AI hardware ensure its long-term value creation.
