ASML Shares Surge to Unprecedented Peak Amid Sector Uncertainty

Asml NL0010273215

While many semiconductor stocks face headwinds, ASML Holding NV continues to defy broader industry uncertainty. The Dutch lithography specialist has powered to fresh all-time highs, fueled by a wave of bullish analyst commentary and a substantial share repurchase program. Notably, even news of potential future competition, backed by U.S. funding, has failed to dampen investor enthusiasm for the stock.

In a strong signal of internal confidence, ASML’s management executed a significant buyback between November 24 and 28. The company repurchased 205,580 of its own shares at a weighted average price ranging from €848 to €900, representing a total investment of approximately €180.85 million.
