ASML Holding

ASML is the leader in photolithography systems used in manufacturing 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.

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for ASML Holding has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, ASML Holding's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.17%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning ASML Holding Stock In The Last 15 Years

LIDR

MOBBW

Shares of companies in the broader technology sector are trading higher. The sector may be rising amid an overall rebound after investor uncertainty and several risk factors led to markets entering correction territory last week.

Renowned trader and chartist Larry Williams believes the market is ready to rally after falling into correction territory last week — and he has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44355195/retail-sales-rebound-less-than-expected-in-february-online-healthcare-spending-show-strong-gains">a few ways to play it</a>.
What To Know: The S&amp;P 500 officially closed in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44341328/stocks-enter-correction-zone-tariff-fears-hammer-consumer-confidence-inflation-wo">correction territory</a> on Thursday, representing the fastest market correction decline since March 2020. Everyone wants to know what&#8217;s going to happen next and Williams believes he has answers.
In a YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vnzm-qltxs">video</a> posted by StockCharts TV on Saturday, Williams explained that he sees a rally ahead because the market is undervalued, smart money has been buying and cycle data says it&#8217;s time to buy.
&#8220;You can have a good stock but if you don&#8217;t buy it at the right time you can still have problems &#8230; right here right now is probably the right time,&#8221; Williams said.
Some stocks that he&#8217;s watching include Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
Smart money has proven to be a strong predictor of Tesla&#8217;s future stock performance based on Williams&#8217; charts. The trader noted that smart money stepped out of Tesla stock last year but money has started to flow back in as the stock has given back some of its gains. 
&#8220;When I look at the conditions of this stock, I see what I like to see,&#8221; Williams said, adding that it&#8217;s undervalued, a bullish cycle should be coming and smart money is starting to buy the name.
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44350934/sp-500-price-trend-flashes-warning-signals-but-this-expert-says-start-looking-for-a-buy-signal-after-last-weeks-drawdown">S&amp;P 500 Price Trend Flashes Warning Signals But This Expert Says &#8216;Start Looking For A Buy Signal&#8217; After Last Week&#8217;s Drawdown</a>
Nvidia is another stock that fits the bill and could be poised to rip higher, according to Williams. The legendary trader said Nvidia shares just recently reached undervalued territory in his model. At the same time, smart money is starting to buy more aggressively. 
Williams noted that the one thing he doesn&#8217;t like on the Nvidia chart is that the stock recently made a lower low than it did in January. He offered <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/asml">ASML Holding</a> as a potential alternative as it has held up better than Nvidia during the most recent selloff. 
&#8220;This was in stronger hands coming down than Nvidia was coming down. I like to buy stocks that have been in strong hands,&#8221; Williams said. 
Finally, Williams highlighted <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/aapl">Apple</a> as potentially being ripe for a bounce. The stock is at a point where it&#8217;s expected to rally based on seasonal patterns. Apple shares also held up comparatively better than the overall market during the most recent selloff, he said. 
In order for any of these stocks to work, the overall market is going to need to recover. Williams believes the market is set to do just that if the Trump administration can put an end to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44348859/trump-says-he-was-little-bit-sarcastic-when-he-said-he-would-end-the-russia-ukraine-war-in-a-day-what-i-really-mean-is">war in Ukraine</a>. 
&#8220;I think that is most likely going to be the trigger mechanism to see things like Apple start to move back to the upside,&#8221; Williams said.
Price Action: At publication time, Tesla shares were down 5.95% at $235, Nvidia shares were down 1.7% at $119.59, ASML Holding shares were down 1.57% at $725.02 and Apple shares were down 1.28% at $210.75, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Shares of semiconductor stocks are trading higher as investors assess US trade and investment policy. Stocks across sectors rose on reports President Trump will delay auto tariffs.

The chip equipment maker pointed at the U.S. semiconductor embargo on China for affecting customer demand in 2024.
The company said several ASML customers slashed their capital expenditures amid macroeconomic uncertainty perpetrated by the U.S. semiconductor technology sanctions, including artificial intelligence.

ASML said that a growing number of entities in China, which accounted for 36% of sales in 2024, are now subject to restrictions.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43541019/chip-equipment-stocks-gain-traction-as-ai-demand-tsmcs-capex-and-semiconductor-expansion-drive-valuations" rel="noreferrer noopener">According to SEMI</a>, China, Taiwan, and Korea will likely remain the top three destinations&nbsp;for equipment spending through 2026.&nbsp;
Under Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency, Washington restricted Chinese smartphone giant Huawei&#8217;s access to advanced semiconductor technology in 2019, citing national security threats.
The U.S. initiated several semiconductor sanctions on China in 2022 (during Joe Biden&#8217;s presidency), citing national security threats, while simultaneously, the country started ramping up its semiconductor base to reduce dependence on China.
The 2020 pandemic prompted the U.S. and other countries to tap chipmakers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) to build their semiconductor fabs to develop advanced semiconductor chips that go into electronic devices ranging from smartphones, PCs to automobiles.
Last week, Intel&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43938789/intel-deploys-asmls-advanced-euv-machines-aims-to-challenge-taiwan-semiconductors-lead" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced that the</a> first two advanced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines from&nbsp;ASML were &#8220;in production&#8221; at its factories. Reportedly, Intel took seven years to put those earlier machines into full production, which contributed to losing its edge to&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor.
ASML stock plunged over 24% in the last 12 months. During that period, at least eight Wall Street firms cut their price targets on the stock after it failed to impress the Market with its outlook. The U.S. embargo on China, a key ASML market, affected its outlook.
Additionally, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44125598/intel-panther-lake-delay-pushes-key-notebook-launch-to-2026-stock-drops-8" rel="noreferrer noopener">struggling chipmaker Intel</a> is a key client of ASML. Therefore, reports of a possible takeover or split of the company may impact ASML demand.
Price Action: ASML stock is up 2.63% at $726.84 premarket at last check Wednesday.

The chipmaker invested over $65 billion in its Arizona fabs to develop advanced chips.
The company only builds its most advanced chip-making facilities on its home soil, Taiwan. Its chips are critical for powering everything from the latest artificial intelligence systems to smartphones.&nbsp;
Since the Biden administration, the U.S. has expressed concerns about Taiwan Semiconductor's near-monopoly on advanced chip manufacturing.
