ASML · suggested 2026-06-06
ASML makes the machines that print the circuits onto chips, and it is the only company in the world that makes the most advanced kind, called EUV lithography. It sits upstream of the entire AI buildout: every leading-edge factory has to queue for its machines. We like it as the monopoly nobody can route around, able to set its own prices, with superb returns.
Where this sits in the cycle
Its sales follow the equipment cycle, the years when chipmakers add capacity, so it is a longer and lumpier cycle than the chip names below it. The main risk is China export rules removing a big slice of demand. It is driven by its order book rather than any season.
The diary
Each entry records the price of the day beside your judgment of it. The figures are captured once and never argue with memory; the words stay yours to rewrite or remove.
Today the price sits 1% above its 50-day average and 28% above its 200-day average.
