On June 17, ASML rose 5.52% in regular trading, trading at $1908.54/share, with turnover of $480 million. The rally was driven by a confluence of sector-wide strength, a major project catalyst, and bullish analyst upgrades.
On the news front, the semiconductor equipment sector rallied broadly, with Applied Materials up 8.28%, Lam Research up 6.64%, and KLA-Tencor up 4.52%, reflecting an overall sector recovery that lifted ASML alongside peers. Meanwhile, Elon Musk previously appeared via video at ASML's internal annual technology conference, elaborating on the Terafab super chip factory project. The initiative targets 2nm advanced process nodes with a total investment potentially reaching $119 billion, requiring large-scale procurement of EUV lithography systems — providing significant potential order backlog upside for ASML.
Additionally, JPMorgan raised its target price for ASML to $2,200 while Morgan Stanley lifted its target to €1,660, both maintaining overweight ratings, continuing to underpin the company's valuation.
