𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 $ASML.NV (ASML Holding NV) 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐬? The stock price is down significantly: - year to date: 18% down 📉 - 1 year ago: 30% down 📉 - from its peak (1000eur): 43% down 📉 - from 5 years ago: 111% up! ✅ Yes, the price is much more attractive now compared to a year ago, but that alone isn’t a reason to invest. What we should invest right now is our time: time to analyze the business, understand the fundamentals, and prepare for the right opportunities. After reading the Q1 2025 report, it’s clear that management is maintaining a cautious outlook, anticipating continued uncertainty and market volatility in the near term. However the business outlook looks solid with sales expected to be between 7,2 and 7,7bn Eur in the second quarter. So we have an external pressure on the stock price - good for us, value investors! In Q1, the company bought back shares worth €2.7 billion as part of its current program, and I expect the buybacks to continue at these price levels. The dividend was also raised by 4.9% compared to last year. Over the last 5 years, the company has shown strong growth, revenue grew by 20.6% and diluted EPS by 28.8% annually. This performance drove the stock price up, but also raised investor expectations, with the PE ratio reaching 50. (currently at around 25). 𝐌𝐲 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 I expect high volatility to continue until the situation with tariffs becomes clearer. Considering the current price and the company’s strong position in the market, I believe it’s worth investing a smaller position in my portfolio. The industry is cyclical, so this downtrend might last a bit longer. But as we all know, it’s nearly impossible to catch the exact bottom At the current price, I’m considering a small investment — less than 2% of my portfolio. Feel free to add your thoughts on this company. regards, @Aguero1010 $BESI.NV (BE Semiconductor Industries NV) $AMAT (Applied Materials Inc) $NXPI (NXP Semiconductors) $SOXX (iShares Semiconductor ETF )
