ASML ASML
ASML is the monopoly supplier of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, the essential machinery for manufacturing the world's most advanced semiconductors, and its business model is based on selling and servicing these high-value machines for giants like TSMC, Intel, and Samsung. ASML maintains an exceptional competitive moat with ROIC of 60.62% and operating margin of 37.06%, but its demanding valuation (P/E 60.24) and rising interest rates limit near-term appeal.

Context and risks
The rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) pressures ASML's valuation due to its high P/E (60.24) and long-duration growth profile. Geopolitical tension with Iran adds uncertainty to the semiconductor cycle, though the effect is indirect.

Verdict: Hold; quality is unmatched, but wait for a better entry point after the rates-driven adjustment.
Main risk: The extreme valuation (P/E 60.24, EV/EBITDA 43.22) leaves little room for error if the AI capex cycle slows or rates keep rising.
