CEO statement and outlook
"Our second-quarter total net sales came in at €7.7 billion, at the top end of our guidance. The gross margin was 53.7%, above guidance, primarily driven by higher upgrade business and one-offs resulting in lower costs.

"We see continued progress in litho intensity, particularly in DRAM, and the introduction of the TWINSCAN NXE:3800E reinforces that momentum. Meanwhile, EUV adoption is advancing as planned, including High NA. This quarter, we shipped the first TWINSCAN EXE:5200B system.

“Looking at 2026, we see that our AI customers' fundamentals remain strong. At the same time, we continue to see increasing uncertainty driven by macro-economic and geopolitical developments. Therefore, while we still prepare for growth in 2026, we cannot confirm it at this stage.

"We expect third-quarter total net sales between €7.4 billion and €7.9 billion, with a gross margin between 50% and 52%. We expect R&D costs of around €1.2 billion and SG&A costs of around €310 million. For the full year 2025, we expect a 15% increase in total net sales and a gross margin of around 52%," said ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Christophe Fouquet.

ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer shared insights on. Cramer mentioned the stock while discussing the performance of semiconductor stocks.

“Next, we know the semiconductors have become the hottest group in the market, as the torch has been passed from software to hardware. Will that extend ASML, the Dutch semiconductor capital equipment company with an effective monopoly on its stage of the supply chain? We could be in for another round of semi buying if the numbers from this one are good.”Jim Cramer Says Strong ASML Numbers Could Fuel Semi Buying Spree

ASML (NASDAQ:ASML) develops and supplies advanced lithography systems, metrology tools, and software solutions used in semiconductor manufacturing. The company’s technologies enable chipmakers to produce highly precise and complex integrated circuits. During a May episode, when a caller inquired about the company stock, Cramer responded:

“No…. The last couple quarters have been weak, I’ve gotta tell you. By the way, Applied Materials reported a quarter that some people didn’t like tonight. If you want to be in that industry, you have to buy Lam Research. That’s the best one.”

While we acknowledge the potential of ASML as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

15.07.25 08:15:00 3 Tech Stocks You Can Buy and Hold for the Next Decade
Key Points

ASML is a tech stock with a wide moat, as it's the only company that manufactures EUV lithography systems. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing expects revenue to increase at a 20% CAGR, and the chipmaker is building new production facilities around the world. The Trade Desk helps advertisers get more bang from their buck with its AI-powered Kokai platform. 10 stocks we like better than ASML ›

The tech sector has bounced back from the stock market chaos in April. The Nasdaq Composite is up 7% on the year, and many of the biggest tech companies are at or near all-time highs, including market leader Nvidia, as well as Microsoft and Meta Platforms.

Those are all quality companies, but they're far from the only good long-term investments in this market sector. Let's check out a few other tech stocks that should excel over the next decade.Image source: Getty Images.

1. ASML

Semiconductor companies are a crucial part of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. ASML (NASDAQ: ASML) supports the industry with the lithography equipment needed to manufacture semiconductors. This equipment uses light to transfer patterns onto a semiconductor's silicone wafer.

The company's most advanced products are its extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems that are used for AI chips. ASML is also the only company to manufacture EUV lithography systems right now, and because of how complex these machines are, it's not a market a competitor could enter overnight.

The biggest threat to ASML in this regard is China, which is investing in its own domestic EUV lithography machines. It's a valid concern, but making a commercially viable machine that matches the quality ASML offers could take several years or longer.

ASML stock has fallen 25% over the past year as its earnings reports have been hit or miss. That's not unusual for its business model, though. The company sells extremely expensive products (EUV lithography machines start at $220 million) and doesn't move a high volume.

Trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 29, ASML isn't overly expensive, and leadership is expecting 2025 and 2026 to be growth years based on conversations with its customers. The current dip gives new investors the chance to buy a wide-moat business at a fair price.

2. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing

Speaking of semiconductor companies, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), or TSMC, is another business with a dominant market position. TSMC is the world's top semiconductor foundry, with a nearly 68% market share. Many leading tech companies, including Nvidia, Apple, and Advanced Micro Devices, rely on TSMC to make their chips.

Story Continues

There's no shortage of reasons to be bullish on TSMC. Revenue and net income have both grown considerably -- up 134% and 110% over the past five years, respectively. Management projections are for revenue to increase at a 20% compound annual growth rate through 2029.

TSMC's growth prospects also look promising because of its ambitious expansion plans. It's working on nine new production facilities this year in Taiwan, the U.S., Japan, and Germany.

You don't need to pay a premium for this semiconductor stock, either. It's trading at a forward P/E ratio of 24, less than the Nasdaq-100. Given that semiconductors are an essential component of all kinds of technology, as well as the excellent revenue projections for TSMC, I'd say the current price is a bargain.

3. The Trade Desk

The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) is a different type of AI stock than the first two companies on this list. Its business is advertising, and specifically, it's a demand-side platform (DSP). A DSP is a software that connects advertisers with digital companies that have ad space. Advertisers upload their ads and set a budget, companies with ad space put in their bid requests, and The Trade Desk's software acts as the middleman between the two.

In 2023, The Trade Desk launched Kokai, a platform with AI tools to help advertisers with budget allocation, bid strategy, and audience targeting. According to the company's data analysis, campaigns on Kokai have delivered a 43% lower cost per unique household, 24% lower cost per click, and 27% lower cost per action on average.

The Trade Desk's share price plummeted after it missed revenue expectations for the fourth quarter of last year. It's currently down 36% on the year, but that's arguably an overreaction. This was the first time The Trade Desk missed guidance in eight years, and it returned to form in the first quarter of 2025. Revenue grew 25% to $616 million and net income grew 8% to $51 million.

Shares have never been cheap, and even after the recent downturn, The Trade Desk is trading at a forward P/E ratio of 41. But advertising is a rapidly growing industry, especially digital ads. Precedence Research forecasts that global digital ad spend will grow from $650 billion in 2025 to about $1.5 trillion in 2034. If you're looking for high-growth stocks, consider buying some shares.

15.07.25 06:01:32 ASML's 2026 growth outlook hinges on second-quarter bookings
By Nathan Vifflin

VELDHOVEN (Reuters) -Investors are hoping that ASML's bookings are robust enough to support its 2026 growth ambitions when the world's biggest chip-making equipment supplier reports its second-quarter earnings on Wednesday.

The Dutch firm has lost around 30% in market value since peaking one year ago, reflecting investor concern over its growth prospects.

At an investor event last November, the maker of the EUV machine - the backbone of AI chipmaking - said it saw 2026 as a growth year but didn't specify how much growth it anticipated.

Analysts see the second quarter as a "make or break" period which will determine its outlook for 2026, considering delivery times typically take around 12 months.

"ASML would need to double our second-quarter order estimates (of 5.3 billion euros) to comfort our 2026 revenue forecast," Barclays analyst Simon Coles told Reuters.

Analysts, on average, expect second-quarter bookings to reach 4.44 billion euros, according to a consensus compiled by researcher Visible Alpha, and 21.3 billion euros for the full-year.

TSMC, CHINA DEMAND

Hitting those forecasts depends largely on orders from the world's top contract chipmaker TSMC, analyst Marc Hesselink of ING said. The company, which is also ASML's top customer, is expected to order the tools it needs for its upcoming manufacturing process, N2, this year.

"We see a better-than-expected demand and order from TSMC and China players, but lower-than-expected demand and order from Intel and Samsung," said Kevin Wang, analyst at Mizuho.

Positive news on talks with clients over future orders would also offer reassurance that it will meet current market forecasts, said Hesselink.

ASML still has a long way to go in 2025 to fulfill booking expectations for its lithography systems, after net bookings, the industry's most closely watched figure, came in at 3.9 billion euro ($4.6 billion) in the first quarter, missing estimates, analysts say.

Its earnings will provide a gauge of the resilience of China's chipmakers, which have been buying lower-end ASML equipment not impacted by export restrictions. That demand helped the company beat first-quarter forecasts.

Last October, ASML projected Chinese orders would fall to a 20% share of all machine sales in 2025.

In fact, they constituted 27% of machine sales, steady from a quarter earlier. Analysts expect that trend to continue unless U.S. export curbs are further extended to apply to the older equipment.

Factors Likely to Influence ASML’s Q2 Performance

The semiconductor sector is riding on a wave of resurgence, fueled by surging demand and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI). This positive momentum has been a boon for companies like ASML, particularly in the wafer fabrication equipment space.

ASML Holding has been at the forefront of technological innovation, benefiting significantly from the industry’s shift toward smaller, more advanced technology nodes. These nodes are essential for building cutting-edge digital infrastructures that support AI, 5G and high-performance computing. The increasing complexity of chip designs has made ASML's state-of-the-art lithography tools indispensable to chipmakers.

In both logic and memory markets, the demand for ASML’s lithography tools continues to climb. The ongoing transition to next-generation memory technologies, such as DDR5 and high-bandwidth memory (HBM), is a tailwind for the company. With DRAM manufacturers ramping up technology upgrades, ASML Holding is likely to have witnessed strong momentum in the second quarter, driven by heightened memory demand.

Story Continues

ASML’s heavy investments in Extreme Ultraviolet (“EUV”) technology are also paying off. EUV lithography is critical for producing advanced chips, and the company’s service segment is benefiting from the rising demand for EUV-related services. In particular, the growing popularity of the NXE:3800 low numerical aperture (NA) machine, which can process 220 wafers per hour, is likely to have driven substantial EUV sales in the to-be-reported quarter.

Despite the strengths, macroeconomic challenges are likely to have negatively impacted ASML’s quarterly outlook. Intensifying U.S.-China trade tensions, coupled with export restrictions on advanced semiconductors and equipment to China, remain a critical headwind. Given ASML’s exposure to the Chinese market, these restrictions may have dampened the company’s overall performance. Nonetheless, strong demand for Deep Ultraviolet (“DUV”) lithography systems, which Chinese chipmakers use to manufacture mature-node chips, such as those based on the 28nm process, might have partially offset the negative impact of export restrictions on advanced semiconductor tools to China.

ASML Stock Price Performance & Valuation

ASML Holding shares have soared 15.7% year to date (YTD), outperforming the Zacks Computer and Technology sector’s rise of 7.4%. Comparing ASML with semiconductor peers, the stock has underperformed KLA Corporation KLAC, Lam Research Corporation LRCX and Applied Materials, Inc. AMAT. YTD, shares of KLA Corporation, Lam Research and Applied Materials have jumped 46.7%, 40.8% and 21.7%, respectively.

The stock trades at a premium to Lam Research and Applied Materials, while at a discount to KLA Corporation. Currently, KLA Corporation, Lam Research and Applied Materials have a forward 12-month P/E ratio of 27.76, 25.34 and 20.11, respectively.

Investment Thesis for ASML Stock

ASML Holding has a clear advantage in the chip equipment market. It is the only company capable of producing EUV lithography machines at scale. These machines are needed to make chips at 5nm, 3nm and soon 2nm levels — key to powering AI processors, mobile devices and data centers.

The company is already rolling out its next-generation High-NA EUV machines, which will be used for even smaller chips. As demand for faster and more efficient chips rises, especially with the growth of AI, ASML Holding stands to benefit. Its machines are a necessary part of the chip supply chain, and its customers, including TSMC, Intel and Samsung, will rely on ASML’s technology for years to come.

However, one concern is the company’s exposure to China. In 2024, China made up 41% of ASML’s shipments, which decreased to 27% in the first quarter of 2025. U.S. pressure on the Dutch government has led to export restrictions on some of ASML’s most advanced equipment, which could limit future sales in that market. Still, strong demand from other regions may offset that risk.

Conclusion: Hold ASML Stock for Now

ASML Holding’s dominance in EUV and High-NA EUV technology, along with solid revenue visibility, makes it well-positioned for future growth. With rising demand for advanced nodes, AI chips and high-bandwidth memory, ASML’s lithography tools will remain mission-critical. However, export restrictions on advanced semiconductors and equipment to China and a high valuation multiple warrant a cautious approach to the stock.

14.07.25 00:03:27 Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq waver amid tariff threats as bitcoin touches latest record
US stocks rose modestly on Monday as Wall Street braced for a turbulent week, as renewed trade tensions injected uncertainty ahead of a key inflation report and the first wave of second quarter earnings.

The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) drifted just above the flat line, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) added about 0.2%.

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) spiked to above $122,000 for the first time as investors greeted the open of Congress's "Crypto Week," but the asset dropped back below $120,000 in afternoon trading. Stocks with crypto ties also rallied as the House of Representatives weighs three key pieces of crypto-related legislation.

Earlier in the day, investors showed a diminished appetite for risk after President Trump said Saturday that the US will impose 30% tariffs on goods from the EU and Mexico from Aug. 1. The increased pressure on key US trading partners is testing the market's previous resilience in the face of escalating tariff tensions. Faith in the idea that Trump will back off from threatened hikes helped lift stocks to all-time highs last week.

Officials from the EU and Mexico are pushing to continue negotiations with the US in hopes of securing a lower rate via a new deal. The hiked tariffs as they stand are seen as likely to remake global trade relations and add to existing inflationary pressures.

That adds uncertainty ahead of consumer inflation data scheduled for release this week. Investors are looking to the June CPI report for signs of how earlier rounds of tariffs are impacting prices across the US economy. The reading will feed into expectations for the Fed's decision on interest rates due in just over two weeks.

Earnings season kicks into swing this week, with all the major US banks due to report results starting on Tuesday. Investors are showing interest in IPO and M&A markets, while Wells Fargo (WFC) reports after being freed from a decade of stringent regulatory restrictions.

Netflix (NFLX) results on Thursday will get Big Tech earnings rolling, with ASML (ASML) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) also set to shed light on the AI chip sector.LIVE13 updates

RBC projects S&P 500 to end 2025 at current levels

Another Wall Street firm no longer sees the S&P 500 declining to finish the year.

In a note to clients on Sunday, RBC Capital Markets boosted its year-end S&P 500 target to 6,250 from a prior target of 5,730. As RBC Capital Markets' Lori Calvasina noted, the adjustment comes amid the market's more than 25% bounce back from the April lows and essentially moves their target back to where it sat in mid-March before the bulk of the tariff turmoil began.

"We feel neutral on the outlook for stocks in the 2nd half of 2025, and are mindful that our new price target is essentially in line with recent levels," Calvasina wrote. "We expect choppy conditions in the back half of the year, and swings in both directions."

Calvasina noted that it's likely still "too early to stop worrying about tariff impacts" on corporate earnings and also highlighted a slowdown in recent momentum as reasons she remains cautious that the next major move for the benchmark index is higher.

While Calvasina is at least the ninth strategist tracked by Yahoo Finance to recently raise their S&P 500 target from their April downward revision, she's also part of a growing list of those who aren't pounding the table for the rally to continue.

Yardeni Research president Ed Yardeni, who maintains a 6,500 year-end target for the S&P 500, wrote in a note to clients on Sunday that the recent V-shape recovery in stocks could soon look more like a "square-root shaped pattern" where the rapid rise higher stalls out. Today at 2:23 PM UTC
