ASML Holding's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

ASML Holding's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NYSE">ASML</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.09% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.27 million shares sold short, which is 0.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.0 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing ASML Holding's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, ASML Holding's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.01%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

A Closer Look at ASML Holding's Options Market Dynamics

WIIM

ASML Holding shares are trading lower after Third Point disclosed in a 13F filing that it exited its position in the company.

In the current session, ASML Holding Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) is trading at $670.94, after a 3.18% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 7.12%, and in the past year, by 3.25%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731686463_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>ASML Holding P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 84.99 in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry, ASML Holding Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 37.09. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731686463_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) shared its strategic roadmap during the 2024 Investor Day, highlighting key growth drivers and market expectations through <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41962514/asml-provides-updated-view-on-market-opportunities-at-2024-investor-day-meeting" rel="noreferrer noopener">the decade&#8217;s end</a>.
The semiconductor equipment maker projected significant revenue expansion, with scenarios estimating annual sales of $46.51 billion &#8211; $63.43 billion (44 billion euros &#8211; 60 billion euros) by 2030, alongside a gross margin target of 56%-60%.
CEO Christophe Fouquet sees the company&#8217;s extended lithography portfolio and scalable EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) technology as crucial assets in capturing the potential of these emerging opportunities.

ASML expects robust demand from the semiconductor sector, with projected global sales surpassing $1 trillion by 2030.
This outlook translates to an annual market growth rate of around 9% from 2025 to 2030. The firm anticipates a double-digit CAGR for EUV lithography spending within the same period, focusing on advanced Logic and DRAM nodes.
According to ASML, the integration of AI across industries presents a substantial opportunity for semiconductor firms. The company plans to leverage its EUV capabilities to accommodate the rising need for high-performance chips used in AI applications.
The scalability of EUV technology allows for efficient multi-patterning, which ASML expects will drive greater customer adoption through cost-effective manufacturing processes.
ASML&#8217;s CFO, Roger Dassen, highlighted the company&#8217;s confidence in its financial targets, citing a strong pipeline of product demand and increasing lithography spending.
He restated the company&#8217;s capital allocation strategy, which includes substantial returns to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.

Insights From Analysts:
Jeremy Schwartz, chief investment officer at WisdomTree, said that the CPI data was "even better than reported."
To explain this, he used more real-time data to note that the headline inflation fell from 2.6% to 1.3%.
"The Fed should continue recalibrating to neutral," said Schwartz.

CME Group's FedWatch tool <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">reflected</a> this positive sentiment for another rate cut next month, with its probability rising from 60% to 70%.
Sonu Varghese, Vice President at Carson Group, downplayed fears of a rebound in inflation, stating that there are "disinflationary trends" that will "likely keep a lid" on a rise in prices.
On the other hand, analysts at BlackRock Investment Institute <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/insights/blackrock-investment-institute/weekly-commentary">expressed</a> caution on inflation.
"We focus on U.S. CPI to see if inflation will keep falling toward the Fed's 2% target. Short-term inflation has been decreasing, with immigration boosting the labor supply and cooling wage growth. However, recent services PCE data remains sticky, indicating that inflation may settle above 2% in the medium term."
On the equity front, though, Varghese expressed a bullish outlook.
"Overall, economic strengths clearly outweigh areas of weakness, and the opportunities likely have a higher probability of coming to fruition than the threats. The balance favors continued strength for equities, which is why we're maintaining our overweight to stocks, especially US stocks."
WisdomTree and Wharton School economist&nbsp;Jeremy Siegel echoed similar sentiments.
"The ‘bull market' sentiment remains intact, though valuations remain a watch point," he said, adding that the expectations of "lighter regulations" from President-elect Donald Trump's administration would benefit equities.

US Futures Marginally Up As Investors Process Inflation Data Ahead Of Jerome Powell's Speech On Economy: Expert Says Fed Should 'Continue Recalibrating To Neutral' On Softer Inflation

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) has significantly expanded its use of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, a critical tool in semiconductor manufacturing, despite the steep costs associated with each machine.
These advanced EUV systems cost over $100 million each and are among the chipmaking industry&#8217;s most expensive equipment.
Industry sources estimate that Taiwan Semiconductor has dramatically increased its EUV capacity, with its share of global EUV installations growing from 50% in 2020 to 56% in 2023, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china-future-tech/semiconductors/article/3286433/tsmc-extends-dominance-semiconductors-56-share-global-lithography-systems?module=perpetual_scroll_0&amp;pgtype=article" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Despite this, the company remains cautious about adopting next-generation high-numerical aperture (high-NA) EUV systems, citing the need to evaluate their cost, technological maturity, and potential client benefits before integrating them into its mass production processes.
Since launching its first commercial EUV lithography process for its 7nm+ technology in 2019, Taiwan Semiconductor has relied heavily on EUV tools for its subsequent processes, including 5nm and 3nm nodes.
As of 2023, Taiwan Semiconductor has increased its EUV system count tenfold compared to its initial deployment, solidifying its position as a leader in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
SCMP writes that in 2022, Taiwan Semiconductor acquired 84 EUV machines, followed by more than 100 systems in 2023.
The company&#8217;s growing installation base now represents a significant portion of ASML&#8217;s global EUV deployments. ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), the exclusive supplier of EUV lithography machines, is pivotal in enabling advanced chip manufacturing processes for Taiwan Semiconductor and other key players like Samsung Foundry.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock is reeling from the pressure of China&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41909693/what-is-going-on-with-taiwan-semiconductor-stock-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">export ban on</a> advanced artificial intelligence chips. The U.S. recently ordered Taiwan Semiconductor to ban the supply of advanced chips—of 7 nanometers or more advanced designs—that support AI and graphics processing capabilities to China.
Donald Trump&#8217;s Presidential election victory has further perpetuated concerns. He attacked Taiwan&#8217;s semiconductor role and the Chips Act, favoring tariffs over subsidies.
Chinese chip expects expanded bans&nbsp;impacting key industries like smartphones and autonomous vehicles.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock surged over 85% year-to-date.
Price Actions: TSM stock is down 2.21% at $187.53 at the last check on Wednesday.

Behind the Scenes of ASML Holding's Latest Options Trends

In response to mounting U.S. pressures, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) faces new constraints from Washington, prohibiting <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41867470/us-asks-tsmc-to-stop-shipment-of-chips-used-in-ai-applications-to-customers-from-china-after-its-chip-was-found-in-huawei-ai-processor" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced AI chip sales</a> to mainland China.
The U.S. Department of Commerce recently instructed Taiwan Semiconductor to cease supplying China with sophisticated chips—of 7 nanometers or more advanced designs—that support AI and graphics processing capabilities.
This directive, which took effect on Monday, reflects ongoing U.S. efforts to limit China's access to vital technological resources, the Global Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202411/1322805.shtml" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Taiwan Semiconductor stock is trading lower Monday after the report.
Visible Alpha by S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence data reveals that Taiwan Semiconductor's third-quarter revenue saw 11% <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41845483/taiwan-semiconductor-us-expansion-plans-unfazed-by-trump-win-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">contribution from mainland China</a>, while North America contributed 71%.
Given China's substantial revenue to Taiwan Semiconductor, this mandate puts the chipmaker in a challenging position as it navigates between regulatory compliance and retaining business.
Analysts suggest that while Taiwan Semiconductor will likely adhere to the order, it may explore ways to negotiate specific terms, hoping to limit the impact on customers outside the AI sector.
The Economic Daily News quoted Taiwan Semiconductor insiders indicating the company is actively strategizing how to respond to these new regulations.
Ma Jihua, a telecom industry expert, told the Global Times that although Taiwan Semiconductor cannot wholly resist U.S. regulations, it will likely seek flexibility in areas less impacted by the restrictions.
He noted that, like other major semiconductor companies, Taiwan Semiconductor's dependence on the Chinese market makes it challenging to disengage entirely.
Taiwan Semiconductor issued a statement confirming its compliance with international laws and export controls, emphasizing its position as a "law-abiding" entity.
ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), another major player in the semiconductor industry, faces similar challenges. Peter Wennink, its former CEO, has previously told the Global Times that ASML would continue selling to China despite restrictions, given that the market contributes about 30% of the company's orders.
In the past seven months, Chinese semiconductor exports reached approximately $89 billion, up nearly 26% from the previous year.
Additionally, China's domestic chip production has surged, with self-sufficiency rising from about 33% in 2013 to almost 80% by mid-2024.
Analysts told the Global Times that this domestic growth reflects China's efforts to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers as the geopolitical landscape remains uncertain.
Recently, Taiwan Semiconductor reaffirmed its commitment to a $65 billion U.S. investment despite Donald Trump's recent election and critical remarks.
The company stated it will proceed with its advanced chip production facilities in Arizona.
Trump had previously criticized Taiwan's semiconductor role and the Chips Act, favoring tariffs over subsidies.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock surged over 92% year-to-date.
Price Actions: TSM stock is down 3.88% to $193.40 at the last check on Monday.

Taiwan Semiconductor Stock Drops as US Orders Halt on AI Chip Sales to China

ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) faced a global IT outage on Friday that disrupted its operations across multiple facilities.
Bloomberg cites an ASML spokesperson as saying the issue began in the morning and was resolved by late afternoon.
Some employees had to work from home, and the outage also affected cleanrooms, offices, customer support, and supplier communications, Bloomberg cites Dutch newspaper Eindhovens Dagblad.

The manufacturer of the advanced chipmaking equipment has launched an investigation into the cause of the disruption.
ASML is already battling the consequences of U.S.-China geopolitical tensions, which prompted it to restrict its technology to the Asian country as a U.S. ally.
ASML's CEO Christophe Fouquet sees <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41462749/asml-ceo-expects-us-to-apply-pressure-to-ramp-up-china-chip-restrictions-what-you-need-to-know" rel="noreferrer noopener">increasing U.S. pressure</a> to tighten chip technology sales to China, citing geopolitical tensions. China remains ASML's largest market, but most sales focus on mature chips rather than advanced AI semiconductors targeted by U.S. export controls.
The company holds a monopoly on producing machines that enable firms like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) to create the most advanced chips used in devices from Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) smartphones to Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) AI processors.

In October, ASML unintentionally released its financial results a day early due to a "technical error," which exacerbated the market reaction to its weaker performance, causing shares of ASML and other chipmakers to tumble.
ASML <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41603527/why-asml-holding-stock-is-down-15-this-month" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported net sales</a> of 7.5 billion euros for the third quarter, topping analysts' expectations of 7.12 billion euros.
Bookings for the quarter reached 2.6 billion euros, with 1.4 billion euros attributed to EUV systems.
For the fourth quarter, ASML projected net sales of 8.8 billion euros-9.2 billion euros, reaffirming its full-year guidance of approximately 28 billion euros in total sales.
ASML expects 2025 net sales to be 30 billion euros—35 billion euros, down from its previous outlook of 30 billion euros—40 billion euros.
ASML&nbsp;stock lost over 6% year-to-date.
Price Actions:&nbsp;ASML stock closed lower by 1.14% at $669.47 on Friday.
