ASML Holding

ASML is the leader in photolithography systems used in the manufacturing of semiconductors. Photolithography is the process in which a light source is used to expose circuit patterns from a photo mask onto a semiconductor wafer. The latest technological advances in this segment allow chipmakers to continually increase the number of transistors on the same area of silicon, with lithography historically representing a high portion of the cost of making cutting-edge chips. ASML outsources the manufacturing of most of its parts, acting like an assembler. ASML's main clients are TSMC, Samsung, and Intel.

ASML Holding Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

<p>Hurricane Helene landed in the southeastern United States on Thursday, causing deadly floods and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41096388/hurricane-helene-102-dead-2-million-without-power-after-storm-destruction-in-6-states">billions of dollars worth of damage</a>. The storm, which hit North Carolina particularly hard, also has the potential to disrupt the $500 billion semiconductor industry, which could cause inflation to spike higher.<br /><br /><strong>What Does Helene Have To Do With Semiconductors? </strong>Spruce Pine, a mining town in North Carolina, has some of the purest quartz on Earth, according to the <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/30/24258333/hurricane-helene-quartz-chip-mining-north-carolina-spruce-pine">Verge.</a> The town&#8217;s quartz is essential for semiconductor manufacturers, as it's used to produce silicon wafers, a critical component for semiconductors and chips.<br /><br />Footage shared to social media sites like X <a href="https://x.com/kelciecrousee/status/1840060554188116042">shows</a> roads completely underwater in areas surrounding Spruce Pine, although the exact damage done to the town's mining operations is unclear. A spokesperson from The Quartz Corp, one of the town's mining companies, told the Verge that it's too early to comment on the storm's impact on the company's operations.<br /><br /><strong>Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/41082266/hurricane-helene-devastates-southeastern-u-s-slamming-infrastructure-and-leaving-millions-powerless">Hurricane Helene Devastates Southeastern U.S., Slamming Infrastructure And Leaving Millions Powerless<br /></a></strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/41082266/hurricane-helene-devastates-southeastern-u-s-slamming-infrastructure-and-leaving-millions-powerless"><br /></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>So</strong>, this wouldn't be the first time a natural disaster has impacted Spruce Pine's mining operati</span>ons. In 2008, a fire impeded the miner's ability to produce the town's high-purity quartz, sending "shivers" through the industry, according to <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/book-excerpt-science-of-ultra-pure-silicon/">Wired</a>. But today, 16 years after the fire, semiconductors are much more pertinent to the global economy, with everything from cars to smartphones requiring advanced chips.<br /><br /><strong>The Context: </strong>When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the global semiconductor supply chain, it impeded the production flow of goods like cars and appliances, sending prices higher as supply was constrained. And while the Federal Reserve and other central banks have made progress in their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">fights against inflation</a>, supply chain issues like a hurricane disrupting semiconductor production could cause inflation to rise again. </p>

Trading Ideas

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In ASML Holding 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

<p>U.S. stocks reacted positively following the Federal Open Market Committee&#39;s announcement in mid-September that it would lower interest rates by 50 basis points, wider than many analysts had anticipated. Generally, a lower federal funds rate is often a boon for stocks, as businesses are able to more easily secure loans to facilitate growth and consumers may be more likely to increase spending habits.</p>
<p>The Federal Reserve is not the only central bank that has reduced interest rates heading into the final quarter of 2024. Similar institutions in Canada, the U.K., and other countries have begun to trim rates in recent months as well. Notably, the European Central Bank&mdash;the equivalent of the Federal Reserve for the European Union&mdash;cut some interest rates by 25 basis points in June and both deposit facility and refinancing rates in September as well. European stocks may stand to benefit from lower interest rates in the eurozone and, potentially, the U.S. as well.</p>
<h2><strong>IFNNY: Technological Breakthrough and Value Prospect</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Infineon Technologies AG</strong> (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnnf#OTC">IFNNF</a>) is a German fabricator of semiconductors and related products. With a market capitalization of under $45 billion, it is orders of magnitude smaller than major semiconductor rivals like NVIDIA Corp.&nbsp;or <strong>Broadcom Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>). Smaller companies often stand to benefit in particular from lowered interest rates as they may be more likely than well-established firms to borrow money in order to finance expansion efforts.</p>
<p>Infineon is, indeed, in the midst of a major project to expand its offerings. The firm announced just days before the latest round of rate cuts that it would emphasize its gallium nitride (GaN) chips thanks to a technological advance that would reduce manufacturing costs. GaN chips are an alternative to popular silicon chips and are known for their light weight, efficiency, and resiliency to high temperatures, among other things.</p>
<p>Infineon&#39;s chips are often used in automotive applications. The automotive industry continues to be plagued by headwinds including supply chain issues and high prices, but Infineon nonetheless remains poised to grow as the automotive industry reverses course. Additionally, the chipmaker&#39;s P/E ratio of 16.3, significantly lower than many other semiconductor companies, gives it an attractive valuation in the meantime.</p>
<h2><strong>NVO: New Drugs in Progress</strong></h2>
<p>Danish healthcare firm Novo Nordisk A/S&nbsp;trades on the New York Stock Exchange, but the international scope of its operations makes it susceptible to changes in interest rates globally. Novo Nordisk has captured headlines around the world with Ozempic, its popular medication used to address type 2 diabetes and obesity concerns.</p>
<p>Now, the firm has at least two more potential blockbuster drugs in various stages of development, and lowered interest rates may play a role in bringing these products to market. First, Wegovy is a weight loss and cardiovascular drug already approved by the FDA in the U.S. that has recently also been backed by the European Medicines Agency. To be sure, Wegovy is already highly successful, but expansion into Europe would help to solidify its blockbuster status.</p>
<p>Second, Novo Nordisk and biotech firm <strong>Korro Bio Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/krro#NASDAQ">KRRO</a>) have announced a collaboration seeking to develop two new genetic medicines to treat cardiometabolic disease. The scope of the project is massive, with Korro Bio set to receive up to $530 million to develop and commercialize the new medicines.</p>
<h2><strong>ASML: Large Semiconductor Firm Could Still Grow</strong></h2>
<p><strong>ASML Holdings N.V.</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/asml#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) is another semiconductor firm, though this one is based in the Netherlands. Despite its size relative to Infineon (it has a market cap of $327 billion), ASML has substantial growth potential.</p>
<p>Analysts have assigned it an average price target of $1,147.80, representing upside potential of 38.6%.</p>
<p>The firm is expected to post earnings growth of more than 63% in upcoming quarters. These factors help to make ASML an attractive prospect even as its P/E ratio is high at 40.8.</p>
<h2><strong>Future Rate Cuts Planned</strong></h2>
<p>The Federal Reserve has already signaled plans to continue to cut rates, and it is possible that the European Central Bank will follow suit. Depending on how these rate cuts are timed and how significant they are, they could help to facilitate a soft landing and continued economic growth or potentially pivot one or more economies into a recession. Thus, despite assurances that additional rate cuts are coming, investors may consider stocking up on shares of companies standing to benefit now.</p>

Shares of semiconductor and chip stocks are trading higher following Wednesday's rate cut, which has lifted growth stocks and rate-sensitive sectors such as tech.

<p>China&#8217;s&nbsp;<strong>Yangtze Memory Technologies Co</strong> accomplished some breakthroughs in substituting <strong>ASML Holding NV</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) and&nbsp;<strong>Lam Research Corporation </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) chipmaking technology with domestic alternatives as U.S. sanctions take a toll on China&#8217;s artificial intelligence ambitions, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-18/ymtc-advances-chip-tech-with-chinese-tools-techinsights-says?srnd=phx-technology&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a>&nbsp;TechInsights.</p>
<p>TechInsights analyst David Wei told Bloomberg in an interview that the memory maker leveraged gear from <strong>Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc. China</strong>, <strong>Naura Technology Group</strong> and <strong>Piotech</strong>.</p>
<p>Geopolitical tensions have affected companies like YMTC and Huawei Technologies, as the U.S. restricted China&#8217;s access to advanced artificial intelligence chips and chipmaking machinery.</p>
<p>Though YMTC upgraded its &#8220;Xtacking&#8221; tech to help its NAND chip performance be at par with industry leaders <strong>Samsung Electronics Co</strong> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>), Bloomberg cited from a research note. Still, the absence of advanced technologies from companies such as ASML and <strong>NVIDIA Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) continued to bite chipmakers like YMTC in the form of a lower production yield.</p>
<p>Chinese hyperscalers such as <strong>Alibaba Group Holding Ltd &#8211; ADR </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) voiced how the U.S. semiconductor embargo affected<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40550305/nvidia-tech-fuels-chinese-ai-growth-overseas-alibaba-ramps-up-7b-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> AI ambitions</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the U.S. was in no mood to soften its stance against China as it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40891335/nvidia-supplier-asml-among-firms-that-face-potential-new-export-restrictions-as-us-japan-move-to-lim" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">collaborated with Japan</a> to limit the export of chip technology to China.</p>
<p>Reports also indicated Nvidia AI chips <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39616102/despite-restrictions-nvidia-chips-are-still-reaching-china-wsj" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">were making their way into</a> China via smuggling and other channels.</p>

China's YMTC Makes Strides in Chip Production; Substitutes ASML, Lam Research Tech As US Sanctions Bite: Report

<p>Ahead of the November presidential election, the U.S. and Japan are on the verge of finalizing a deal to limit the export of chip technology to China.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: The agreement aims to address loopholes in existing export rules and impose new restrictions reflecting the rapid advancements of Chinese companies in chip production over the last two years. The White House intends to introduce these controls before the November presidential election, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/3fa44901-33e4-4ab4-9f7b-efe1575a6553">reported</a> on Monday, citing people familiar with the situation.</p>
<p>Negotiations have been ongoing for months, involving officials from the U.S., Japan, and the Netherlands. The goal is to establish complementary export control regimes to ensure Japanese and Dutch companies are not targeted by the U.S. &#8220;foreign direct product rule.&#8221;</p>
<p>However, the situation remains delicate. A Japanese official expressed concerns about potential Chinese retaliation, which could include blocking exports of critical minerals like gallium and graphite. These minerals are essential for various Japanese industries. according to the report.</p>
<p>The U.S. export controls are designed to make it more difficult for China to acquire critical chipmaking tools and services, significantly impacting companies like <strong>ASML Holding NV </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) in the Netherlands and Tokyo Electron in Japan. The U.S. also seeks to align export control rules among the three countries to avoid diplomatic conflicts.</p>

<p>The Biden administration is aware of Tokyo&#8217;s irritation over the pressure being applied, especially as President <strong>Joe Biden </strong>prepares to block <strong>Nippon Steel</strong>&#8216;s $15 billion takeover of <strong>U.S. Steel</strong>. The U.S. negotiators include officials from the Commerce Department and National Security Council, according to the report.</p>
<p>China has expressed strong opposition to these measures, urging relevant countries to adhere to international economic and trade rules. </p>
<p><strong>Liu Pengyu</strong>, spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington, stated that China would closely monitor developments and defend its companies&#8217; lawful rights and interests.</p>
<p>The White House did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.</p>
<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: The U.S. has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39396293/us-pressures-japan-and-netherlands-to-tighten-chip-equipment-exports-to-china-report">reportedly pressuring Japan</a> and the Netherlands to tighten their export policies on chipmaking equipment to China since mid-2024. <strong>Alan Estevez</strong>, the chief of export policy, has been instrumental in these discussions.</p>
<p>China, on the other hand, has been actively working to counter these restrictions. In May, the Chinese government announced a substantial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39110209/chinas-decapitated-chip-sector-is-thrown-50b-lifeline">$47.5 billion public fund</a> to boost its self-reliance in advanced chip manufacturing.</p>
<p>Despite U.S. export restrictions, Chinese markets have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40748025/china-offers-nvidias-ai-chips-at-discounted-rents-as-low-as-6-per-hour-despite-us-export-restriction">reportedly managed to obtain advanced chips</a> through alternative means. Reports from September indicate that <strong>NVIDIA Corp</strong>&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) AI chips are available in China at discounted rates, suggesting a significant supply despite the ban.</p>
<p>Furthermore, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40748185/chinas-markets-still-manage-to-get-nvidia-ai-chips-via-smuggling-report">smuggling and other channels</a> have allowed Chinese markets to continue accessing these critical technologies, highlighting the ongoing struggle between the U.S. and China over semiconductor dominance.</p>

ASML Holding's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

<p>The S&amp;P 500 index endured its sharpest weekly decline in over a year and a half — a drop that hasn't been seen since the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31502441/data-shows-exactly-how-big-banks-benefited-from-collapse-of-silicon-valley-bank-and-signature-bank">banking crisis in March 2023</a>.</p>
<p>A cooler labor market report prompted investors to reduce their risk exposure after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40754257/stocks-tumble-on-jobs-data-nasdaq-100-eyes-worst-week-in-2-years-as-semiconductors-slump-whats-d">three consecutive weeks of gains.</a></p>
<p>On Friday, Wall Street experienced a strong &#8220;risk-off&#8221; session, with the S&amp;P 500, tracked by the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), closing 1.7% lower. This extended the weekly loss to 4.1%.</p>
<p>Tech stocks were hit even harder. The <strong>Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which follows the performance of major tech stocks, plunged 2.6% on Friday. This resulted in a 5.8% weekly loss, the steepest since October 2022.</p>
<p>Semiconductors bore the brunt of the selling. The<strong> iShares Semiconductor ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>), a barometer for the semiconductor industry, sank 4.3% on Friday alone. Over the week, the sector was down 11.8%, its worst weekly performance since March 2020.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cooling Employment Numbers Amplify Risk-Off Mood</h3>
<p>Friday&#8217;s selloff was driven in large part by the latest labor market data. The U.S. economy added just 142,000 nonfarm payrolls in August, missing the forecast of 160,000 and significantly below the one-year average of 202,000 new jobs per month.</p>
<p>The unemployment rate ticked down slightly from 4.3% to 4.2%, in line with expectations, while wage growth provided a mild upside surprise. </p>
<p>&#8220;We acknowledge that today&#8217;s employment report was weaker than we expected, but we don&#8217;t see a recession,&#8221; said veteran Wall Street investor <strong>Ed Yardeni</strong>. </p>
<p>Yardeni highlighted that while employers are not laying off workers en masse, their demand for new hires has slowed down, even as the supply of labor has increased.</p>
<p>&#8220;The moderation in the labor market has been characterized by low layoffs and slowing hiring,&#8221; added Bank of America economist <strong>Shruti Mishra</strong>.</p>
<p>In response to the softer jobs data, Bank of America altered its forecast for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Previously, the bank had expected 25 basis point cuts per quarter beginning in September. Now, the firm foresees the Fed trimming rates by 25 basis points at each meeting for the next five sessions, bringing the policy rate down to 4% by March 2025.</p>
