ASML shares drop as TSMC delays adoption of next-gen EUV machinesApril 23, 2026 8:18 AM
IH Market News
ASML Holding (NASDAQ:ASML) shares fell 3.3% on Thursday after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:TSM) indicated it will delay using the company’s most advanced lithography systems.TSMC, ASML’s biggest customer according to Bloomberg supply chain data, said it does not plan to introduce ASML’s high numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet (high-NA EUV) machines into production before 2029. Each unit carries a price tag of more than €350 million ($410 million).



Cost concerns drive delay in next-gen rollout



TSMC Deputy Co-Chief Operating Officer Kevin Zhang told reporters that the company will continue relying on its existing EUV technology, describing the newer high-NA EUV systems as “very, very expensive.”Zhang made the remarks while confirming that TSMC’s next-generation A13 chip is expected to enter production in 2029.



Timeline shift raises questions for ASML outlook



The postponement could complicate ASML’s roadmap, as the Dutch company had expected its high-NA EUV tools to begin large-scale deployment between 2027 and 2028.ASML is targeting revenue of up to €60 billion by 2030, with investor sentiment closely tied to the pace of adoption of its next-generation equipment.



Analysts see move as expected



Analysts at Bernstein said the development “probably shouldn’t be a surprise,” noting that TSMC had already signaled last year that it would not use high-NA EUV for its A14 process node.They added that the baseline expectation has long been for adoption to occur at the A10 node around 2030. While there had been speculation that TSMC might introduce the technology for limited layers in 2029, analysts described that view as “more speculative” due to limited supporting evidence.“While HNA adoption is viewed as a major milestone, it’s probably neutral, or even positive, for ASML to have slower HNA,” the analysts said.ASML Holding stock priceTaiwan Semiconductor stock price

Five key themes for markets in the week aheadApril 13, 2026 6:45 AM
IH Market News
Geopolitics is taking centre stage at the start of the trading week, with a planned U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz driving fresh volatility across markets. The move has pushed oil prices higher again, while upcoming inflation data and a busy earnings calendar could provide further direction for investors.



1. U.S. moves ahead with Hormuz blockade



The U.S. military has confirmed it will begin restricting maritime traffic linked to Iran through the Strait of Hormuz from 10 a.m. Eastern on Monday, following an order from President Donald Trump after weekend talks with Iran failed to yield progress.According to the Pentagon, vessels “entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas” will be targeted, while other ships transiting the strait will still be permitted to pass.The decision follows 21 hours of negotiations in Pakistan that ended without an agreement to extend a fragile two-week ceasefire. Vice President JD Vance, who led the U.S. delegation, said Iran rejected demands to halt its nuclear ambitions. Pakistan, acting as a mediator, urged both sides to “uphold their commitment to ceasefire.”Elsewhere, Israel and Lebanon are set to hold talks in Washington this week, although continued strikes on Hezbollah-linked targets have raised doubts about the durability of any broader regional truce.



2. Oil climbs back above $100



Crude prices surged again on Monday, breaking back above the $100 per barrel level.Brent crude rose 6.7% to $101.65, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate gained 7.1% to $103.42.Despite the rally, analysts at Pepperstone said the market response had been “relatively contained,” with investors interpreting the blockade largely as a negotiating tactic.“I’d not be at all surprised to see risk assets remain underpinned to a degree, with continued hope that a deal can be agreed likely to continue to encourage dip buying, even as crude benchmarks are likely to grind steadily higher as physical supply tightens further,” said Michael Brown, Senior Research Strategist at Pepperstone.Oil had dipped below $100 last week following the ceasefire announcement, which itself came after Trump warned Iran’s “civilization” could be destroyed if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened. Even so, prices have remained well above pre-conflict levels.



3. U.S. producer price data in focus



Rising energy costs have heightened concerns about inflation globally and how central banks may respond.This week, attention will turn to U.S. producer price index (PPI) data for final demand, which will provide a clearer picture of price pressures in March—the first full month reflecting the impact of the Iran conflict.Recent consumer price data already showed a sharp increase, driven largely by higher fuel costs. Energy prices jumped 12.5% year-on-year, compared with just 0.5% in February.However, core inflation—which excludes food and energy—came in softer than expected, at 2.6% annually and 0.2% month-on-month.Given this, analysts believe the Federal Reserve may not place excessive weight on the headline figures alone. The upcoming PPI release could offer further clues on how policymakers approach interest rates in the months ahead.“A stronger-than-expected [PPI] reading would reinforce the case for a ‘higher for longer’ rate outlook, likely supporting the dollar and leaving EUR/USD’s recent rebound vulnerable to renewed downside,” said Laurence Booth, Global Head of Markets at CMC Markets.



4. Bank earnings take centre stage



The U.S. earnings season gathers pace this week, led by results from major Wall Street lenders.Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is set to report first, with its shares up around 3% so far this year. Trading revenues have been supported by portfolio repositioning linked to developments in artificial intelligence, while its investment banking division has also delivered growth.However, the Iran conflict may weigh on outlooks. While volatility can boost trading income, elevated commodity prices could discourage dealmaking activity such as mergers and acquisitions, potentially affecting advisory revenues.Other banks reporting include JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS).Beyond banking, earnings are also expected from Netflix and PepsiCo.



5. European luxury sector results ahead



In Europe, attention will turn to the luxury sector, where several major groups are due to report.LVMH (EU:MC), owner of brands such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, is scheduled to release first-quarter sales, with geopolitical tensions likely to influence its outlook. Peers Kering SA (EU:KER) and Hermès (EU:RMS) are also set to report.According to Reuters, luxury sales in markets such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi have declined due to the conflict, weighing on the $400 billion sector.Elsewhere, ASML (NASDAQ:ASML) will report on Wednesday, with investors watching closely for updates on its ability to meet strong demand from artificial intelligence chipmakers.Goldman Sachs Group stock priceJPMorgan Chase stock priceWells Fargo stock priceCitigroup stock priceBank of America stock priceMorgan Stanley stock price

ASML says artificial intelligence to become key driver of future demandFebruary 25, 2026 10:23 AM
IH Market News
ASML (NASDAQ:ASML) said artificial intelligence is now expected to be the primary engine of future sales growth, highlighting the technology’s rapidly expanding role in shaping demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment.The Dutch company, the world’s leading supplier of lithography systems used to produce cutting-edge chips, previously believed AI would represent only a “limited portion” of demand among its customers, according to Chief Executive Officer Christophe Fouquet in the company’s annual report.However, by the end of last year, ASML observed that “new and significant demand for AI” had begun accelerating capacity expansion plans across its customer base. Fouquet described this shift as a “powerful trend” that the company expects to persist throughout this year and beyond.“We anticipate continued growth in the semiconductor market driven by strong demand for AI logic and memory products, along with high pricing resulting from supply-demand imbalances. This is expected to drive demand for growth in the equipment market,” ASML said.For 2025, full-year sales increased 15.6% year over year to €32.7 billion, while gross margin improved slightly to 52.8%. Fouquet added that ASML’s order backlog remains at a “healthy level” of €38.8 billion.The company also noted that 2025 was marked by a “high degree of geopolitical and market uncertainty,” including shifting tariff negotiations and an uneven global economic outlook.Referencing International Monetary Fund data, ASML said global economic growth slowed to 3.2% last year, compared with revised estimates of 3.3% previously.“A slowdown in GDP growth is typically not a tailwind for a strong semiconductor cycle,” the company said. Nonetheless, it added that “very high growth” in AI chip demand helped drive double-digit expansion across the semiconductor industry during the year.ASML also emphasized that access to advanced semiconductors is becoming increasingly important for countries seeking technological leadership and national security advantages, meaning the strategic relevance of the chip industry is “only likely to grow.” The company plans to continue collaborating with governments as new semiconductor fabrication facilities are developed across the United States, Europe and Asia.ASML Holding stock price

Semiconductor Shares Poised to Drive Early Gains on Wall Street: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, FuturesJanuary 28, 2026 2:20 PM
IH Market News
U.S. equity futures pointed to a firmer open on Wednesday, setting the stage for stocks to build on gains from the previous two sessions, with semiconductor names once again expected to lead the advance.Chip-related stocks were among the strongest performers on Tuesday, and that momentum looked set to continue in early trading. U.S.-listed shares of ASML (NASDAQ:ASML) jumped about 5% in premarket action after the Dutch semiconductor equipment group delivered strong fourth-quarter results and issued upbeat guidance for 2026.Elsewhere in the sector, South Korea’s SK Hynix surged in overseas trading after the memory chipmaker reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and posted a record full-year profit for 2025.Sentiment also received a boost from a Reuters report indicating that China has approved purchases of Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) H200 artificial intelligence chips by some of the country’s largest technology groups. Nvidia shares rose around 1.6% in premarket trading. Citing four people familiar with the matter, Reuters said Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), ByteDance and Tencent have been cleared to buy more than 400,000 H200 chips in total.Overall trading volumes may remain relatively light, however, as investors look ahead to the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision later in the day. While the central bank is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged, markets will be watching the voting breakdown and accompanying statement for clues on the future path of rates.Attention will also turn to earnings after the closing bell, with tech heavyweights Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) all due to report quarterly results.On Tuesday, the major U.S. indexes finished mixed. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 pushed higher, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated sharply. The Nasdaq climbed 215.74 points, or 0.9%, to a near three-month closing high of 23,817.10, and the S&P 500 added 28.37 points, or 0.4%, to end at a record 6,978.60. In contrast, the Dow fell 408.99 points, or 0.8%, to close at 49,003.41, despite recovering from deeper losses earlier in the session.Strength in the broader market reflected optimism ahead of earnings from major technology companies, including Microsoft, Apple (AAPL) and Meta Platforms. Microsoft shares rose 2.2%, Apple gained 1.1%, and Meta edged modestly higher.Positive sentiment was also supported by upbeat results from companies such as General Motors (NYSE:GM) and UPS (NYSE:UPS). On the downside, the Dow was weighed down by a sharp sell-off in UnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH), whose shares plunged 19.6% after the insurer issued disappointing revenue guidance despite posting slightly better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings. A Trump administration proposal calling for near-flat rates for Medicare Advantage insurers also pressured the sector.In economic data, the Conference Board reported an unexpectedly steep drop in U.S. consumer confidence in January. Its consumer confidence index fell to 84.5 from an upwardly revised 94.2 in December, confounding expectations for a rise to 90.0 and marking the lowest reading since May 2014.Sector-wise, semiconductor stocks posted a strong rally, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surging 2.4% to a new record closing high. Computer hardware and networking stocks also advanced, helping lift the tech-heavy Nasdaq. Outside of technology, oil service stocks rose sharply alongside crude prices, pushing the Philadelphia Oil Service Index up 2.0%. By contrast, healthcare, airline and housing stocks came under notable selling pressure.ASML Holding stock priceNvidia stock priceMicrosoft stock priceMeta stock priceTesla stock priceUnited Parcel Service stock priceUnitedHealth Group stock price

Fed Call and Earnings Wave Take Center Stage as Markets Brace for Volatility: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesJanuary 28, 2026 10:28 AM
IH Market News
U.S. equity futures were mostly higher early Wednesday as investors positioned cautiously ahead of a packed session featuring a key Federal Reserve policy decision and a heavy slate of corporate earnings. The Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged, while several mega-cap technology groups are set to report results after U.S. markets close. Elsewhere, gold climbed to yet another all-time high, and reports said China has approved purchases of Nvidia’s H200 artificial intelligence chips for the first time.



S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures advance



Futures tied to major U.S. indices were trading modestly in positive territory, reflecting guarded optimism ahead of the day’s events.By 02:49 ET, Dow futures were up 37 points, or 0.1%, S&P 500 futures had gained 28 points, or 0.4%, and Nasdaq 100 futures were higher by 249 points, or 1.0%.Wall Street closed mixed on Tuesday as investors digested a wave of quarterly earnings. Sentiment was dented by a sharp drop in UnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH), after the healthcare group warned that 2026 revenue would be lower following a federal proposal for a smaller-than-expected increase in Medicare Advantage premiums. The move weighed on the broader health insurance space, with CVS Health (NYSE:CVS) and Humana (NYSE:HUM) both suffering double-digit losses.By the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen 0.8%. However, relative strength in technology and automotive stocks helped support the broader S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite.Beyond earnings, investors were also monitoring the risk of a partial U.S. government shutdown amid political backlash over fatal shootings involving immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis, alongside renewed tariff threats from President Donald Trump.Adding to the cautious tone, U.S. consumer confidence sank in January to its lowest level in 12 years, according to data from the Conference Board, highlighting growing unease among households despite an economy that remains resilient but constrained by high inflation and soft hiring.



Fed decision in focus



Against this backdrop, policymakers at the Federal Reserve are expected to leave interest rates unchanged at the conclusion of their meeting later today.Last year, the central bank delivered a series of rate cuts to support a cooling labour market, bringing borrowing costs into a range of 3.5% to 3.75%. Since then, relatively low layoffs and inflation still well above the Fed’s 2% target have reduced the urgency for further easing.As a result, attention is likely to turn to Chair Jerome Powell’s guidance on the future path of rates, particularly after the Fed’s December meeting revealed deep divisions among officials over how policy should evolve. Markets currently do not expect the next rate cut until June.Investors are also closely watching developments around the leadership of the Fed. Powell, whose term as chair ends in May, is facing a criminal investigation launched earlier this month by the Trump administration. Powell has denied any wrongdoing and described the probe as a politically motivated attempt to undermine the Fed’s independence. Trump has repeatedly criticised Powell for not cutting rates more aggressively, arguing that faster easing would help stimulate growth.Although Powell has received support from members of Trump’s Republican Party, it remains unclear whether he will remain on the Fed’s rate-setting board after his term ends. Trump has reportedly been speaking with potential successors, with prediction markets currently viewing BlackRock executive Rick Rieder as the leading candidate.



Earnings deluge



Earnings season remains a dominant theme, with investors facing a flood of results, particularly from large technology companies.After the U.S. market closes, attention will turn to reports from Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). These updates are expected to offer fresh insight into the sustainability of the artificial intelligence boom, which has become a major driver of equity markets and, potentially, broader economic growth.Big technology groups have been investing heavily in AI infrastructure, fuelling strong demand for advanced semiconductors and data centres. Reinforcing expectations that this trend could extend into 2026, Europe’s largest listed company, ASML (NASDAQ:ASML), reported stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter bookings and said orders continue to increase.Earlier in the day, investors will also parse earnings from AT&T (NYSE:T), Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) and energy equipment maker GE Vernova (NYSE:GEV).



Gold sets another record



Gold prices surged to a new record above $5,200 an ounce on Wednesday, supported by strong demand for safe-haven assets and continued weakness in the U.S. dollar.Other precious metals remained elevated, with silver and platinum trading close to recent highs. The cautious mood ahead of the Fed decision has underpinned demand for havens.Gold has risen around 20% so far in 2026, building on last year’s strong gains. Heightened geopolitical tensions — including developments in Venezuela and a dispute involving Greenland — alongside uncertainty over U.S. policy have been key drivers of the rally.A weaker dollar has further boosted metals prices. The greenback slid to a near four-year low this week after Trump signalled on Tuesday that he was unconcerned by the currency’s decline, prompting additional selling.



China clears purchases of Nvidia’s H200 chips – reports



China has approved the purchase of an initial batch of Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) H200 artificial intelligence chips, according to media reports.Authorities have reportedly authorised major domestic technology groups — including ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent — to buy more than 400,000 H200 chips combined, as Beijing seeks to support its ambitions in artificial intelligence while balancing efforts to bolster domestic chip production.The first round of approvals could be worth around $10 billion, with other companies still awaiting clearance. According to the Wall Street Journal, firms seeking approval were required to submit detailed explanations outlining how the chips would be used.The move comes as Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has been visiting China, after previously receiving approval from the Trump administration to begin H200 sales to Chinese customers. Nvidia shares rose more than 1% in extended trading following the reports.UnitedHealth Group stock priceCVS Health stock priceHumana stock priceMeta stock priceMicrosoft stock priceTesla stock priceASML Holding stock priceAT&T stock priceStarbucks stock priceGE Vernova stock priceNvidia stock price

CEO statement and outlook
"Our first-quarter total net sales came in at €5.3 billion, at the midpoint of our guidance, with a gross margin of 51.0% which is above guidance, primarily driven by product mix and one-offs.

"We expect second-quarter total net sales between €5.7 billion and €6.2 billion with a gross margin between 50% and 51%. ASML expects R&D costs of around €1,070 million and SG&A costs of around €295 million. Our outlook for the full year 2024 is unchanged, with the second half of the year expected to be stronger than the first half, in line with the industry's continued recovery from the downturn. We see 2024 as a transition year with continued investments in both capacity ramp and technology, to be ready for the turn in the cycle," said ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Wennink.

Update dividend and share buyback program
ASML intends to declare a total dividend for the year 2023 of €6.10 per ordinary share, which is a 5.2% increase compared to 2022. Recognizing the three interim dividends of €1.45 per ordinary share paid in 2023 and 2024, this leads to a final dividend proposal to the Annual General Meeting of €1.75 per ordinary share.

In the first quarter, we purchased around €400 million worth of shares under the current 2022-2025 share buyback program.

Details of the share buyback program as well as transactions pursuant thereto, and details of the dividend are published on ASML's website (www.asml.com/investors).

ASML Net Profit Rises; Maintains Conservative Guidance for 2024

Source: Dow Jones News
By Najat Kantouar and Joe Hoppe


ASML Holding said fourth-quarter net profit rose and that it was maintaining its conservative guidance for the year ahead despite positive industry signs.

The Dutch manufacturer of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry said Wednesday that net profit for the fourth quarter was 2.05 billion euros ($2.23 billion) compared with EUR1.8 billion for the same period a year earlier. An analysts' consensus taken from FactSet expected EUR1.86 billion.

Net sales for the period were EUR7.24 billion compared with EUR6.4 billion, and a forecast of between EUR6.7 billion and EUR7.1 billion. Net bookings were EUR9.19 billion compared with EUR6.3 billion

For the year as a whole, sales rose to EUR27.56 billion compared with EUR21.17 billion. In October the company said that it expected sales for the year to be similar to 2022's EUR21.2 billion given the uncertainty around demand recovery in the semiconductor industry.

For the year ahead the company said, the company forecast first quarter net sales between EUR5.0 billion and EUR5.5 billion. It said it was maintaining its conservative guidance for 2024 revenue to be similar to 2023, despite positive industry signs.

The board raised its total dividend for 2023 to EUR6.10 a share from EUR5.80 a share a year earlier.

ASML 2Q Net Income Slipped on Quarter; Raises Full-Year Sales Guidance

Source: Dow Jones News
By Joe Hoppe


ASML Holding NV said Wednesday that second-quarter net income slipped slightly on quarter, though net sales and gross margin rose and it lifted its full-year net sales guidance.

The Dutch manufacturer of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry said net income for the period was 1.94 billion euros ($2.18 billion) compared with EUR1.96 billion in the first quarter of 2023.

Net sales for the second quarter were EUR6.90 billion compared with EUR6.75 billion in the previous quarter, at the high end of guidance of between EUR6.5 billion and EUR7.0 billion. The gross margin rose to 51.3% from 50.6%, exceeding guidance of 50%. The company said this was primarily driven by more revenue for deep ultraviolet over the quarter.

Net bookings for the quarter were EUR4.50 billion compared with EUR3.75 billion.

The company said it expects strong growth for 2023, with a net sales increase toward 30% on-year. It had previously guided for 2023 net sales to grow by more than 25% from 2022.

The board declared an interim dividend of EUR1.45 a share.

Customers across different market segments are more cautious due to macroeconomic uncertainties, and the shape of recovery is still unclear, Chief Executive Peter Wennink said.

"However, our strong backlog of around EUR38 billion provides us with a good basis to navigate these short-term uncertainties," Wennink said.

ASML 1Q Net Sales, Gross Margin Beat Guidance as Net Bookings Drop

Source: Dow Jones News
By Kyle Morris


ASML Holding NV said Wednesday that first-quarter net sales and gross margin beat guidance due to higher than expected extreme ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet revenue, but that net bookings dropped.

The Dutch manufacturer of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry said that net income was 1.95 billion euros ($2.14 billion) compared with EUR1.82 billion a year earlier.

Net sales for the first quarter were EUR6.75 billion compared with EUR6.43 billion a year earlier.

Net bookings for the quarter were EUR3.75 billion compared with EUR6.32 billion a year prior.

"We continue to see mixed signals on demand from the different end-market segments as the industry works to bring inventory to more healthy levels. Some major customers are making further adjustments to demand timing while we also see other customers absorbing this demand change, particularly in DUV at more mature nodes. The overall demand still exceeds our capacity for this year and we currently have a backlog of over EUR38.9 billion," Chief Executive Peter Wennink said.

For the second quarter, ASML sees net sales between EUR6.5 billion and EUR7.0 billion and a gross margin between 50% and 51%.

ASML expects 2023 net sales to grow over 25% compared with 2022.

The company declared a total dividend for 2022 of EUR5.80 per ordinary share.

Nice company

Ben Bernake no precisely there is no exist without big Consequences so hi is stein put and will let new Chairman to deal with his mass. This is a pure crime. Scam bag is always a scam bag! Yesterday “what we got was an increasingly dovish handoff from Chairman Bernanke to Janet Yellen,” “Bernanke has metaphorically left the building. We are living in a Yellen world. And Yellen is a dove with a capital D.” And she is stupid to grasp that, because she is in love with Ben. What an arrogance and Ignorance. Now this brings us to the bond market. The reason that the bond market was going down, and why interest rates were going up, was that the Fed was going to taper. Now there is no tapering, and bonds have not rallied that much! Why? Because the Fed is losing control of the bond market; the bond market is telling the Fed that it has printed too much money.
Now this brings us to the bond market. The reason that the bond market was going down, and why interest rates were going up, was that the Fed was going to taper. Now there is no tapering, and bonds have not rallied that much! Why? Because the Fed is losing control of the bond market; the bond market is telling the Fed that it has printed too much money.
This brings us to the stock market. The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) and Dow Jones Industrial Average(INDEXDJX:.DJI) broke out to new highs. Part of the reason, I believe, that we got no tapering is because the Fed is somewhat scared of what it would do to the equity markets. Part of its belief is that the re-creation of a wealth effect (even if only a small amount of investors have profited) has trickled down into the economy. Now the Fed is scared to take the punch bowl away -- or better yet, it's scared to confiscate the heroin needle away and take the market off of its juice.
The next meeting is in December; at that time, Bernanke will be one month away from stepping down. The next meeting after that is in March, and Janet Yellen, frontrunner for the Fed chair, will be barely two months into her job. I do not see major shifts with an incoming or outgoing Fed chair.
I actually think that investors should ignore the talk of taper. The Fed is going to print until it can’t. Until bond rates spike and the market starts to tank and inflation takes off. Then the market will take the printing press away. However, until then, the Fed is trapped in a box and can’t get out.
Federal Reserve comity and Ben Bernanke “Giant Ponzi Scheme” .When we have bad economic data market is going up on speculation Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will kip printing money. When we have god economic data market is going up speculation Bernanke is steel printing? This entire look like exuberance sign of market is in the crash mod and will burst 1000 down ward point any second. Bernanke ruin billions and billions of ordinary people’s lives with kipping interest zero in favor of Banks and Speculators Bernanke committed the biggest crime to humanity The Biggest Ponzi Scheme Ever. Bernanke is a Scam bag! Printing money is poor pyramid scams, artificial unreal! Every pyramid scam crash everybody loses regular investor watch out doesn’t fall in to the trap. A record breaking stock market is distorting a frightening reality: The U.S. is being eaten alive by a horrific cancer that will ultimately destroy the economy and impoverish the vast majority of its citizens. Despite "phony" signs of an economic recovery, the cancer destroying America stems from a lethal concoction of our $16 trillion federal debt and the Fed's never ending money printing. Currently, Bernanke and company is buying $1 trillion of Treasury and mortgage bonds a year. That's about $85 billion per month against a budget deficit that is about the same level. These numbers are unsustainable. And the Fed has no credible "exit strategy."
ASML Valuation suggests a higher amount of price risk, and Earnings Quality, Balance Sheet Quality and
Operating Efficiency is weak. When combined, ASML deserves a SELL rating. PE is 29.7028, among the highest in the industry. ASML will underperform the market over the next 12 months and us recommends that investors sell it now. Bernanke over ballooned stock with printing money he can’t exit inflation coming perfect condition for market crash and ASML late investor will lose everything! Regular investor bewares!

OUR EVALUATION OF ASML
Jefferson Research
ASML PE is 27.6113, among the highest in the industry.
ASML HOLDING NV -ADR is showing strong Cash Flow Quality, but Valuation suggests
a higher amount of price risk, and Earnings Quality, Balance Sheet Quality and
Operating Efficiency are weak. When combined, ASML deserves a SELL rating.
Even though the Balance Sheet rating improved during the quarter on strengthening
liquidity, this was offset by weakness in the Valuation rating. Combined, the changes
were insufficient to raise the overall rating from a SELL.
VALUATION: MOST RISK
An unfavorable valuation (a MEDIUM RISK or MOST RISK rating) implies higher potential downward price risk that is evidenced by
a company price multiple that is higher than the corresponding sector average. The valuation rating is based on both absolute and
relative levels at ASML HOLDING NV -ADR compared to its peers within its sector based on price to earnings (PE), price to earnings
growth (PEG), price to sales (PS), and price to cash flow (PCF). For certain foreign companies, some quarterly information is not
available and therefore not displayed.
The valuation rating for ASML decreased from a LOW RISK to a MOST RISK.
EVA Dimensions UNDERWEIGHT
ASML's PRVit score is at the 21st percentile of all firms in its industry, which
leads to a recommendation to Underweight. ASML is less attractively priced in relation to its true value than well over half of the stocks in its industry.
ASML Equity Summary Score:
Bearish (1.6)

A record breaking stock market is distorting a frightening reality: The U.S. is being eaten alive by a horrific cancer that will ultimately destroy the economy and impoverish the vast majority of its citizens. That’s according to Peter Schiff, the best-selling author and CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, who delivered his harsh warning to investors in a recent interview on Fox Business. "I think we are heading for a worse economic crisis than we had in 2007," Schiff said. "You're going to have a collapse in the dollar...a huge spike in interest rates... and our whole economy, which is built on the foundation of cheap money, is going to topple when you pull the rug out from under it."Schiff says that, despite "phony" signs of an economic recovery, the cancer destroying America stems from a lethal concoction of our $16 trillion federal debt and the Fed's never ending money printing. Currently, Bernanke and company is buying $1 trillion of Treasury and mortgage bonds a year. That's about $85 billion per month against a budget deficit that is about the same level. According to Schiff, these numbers are unsustainable. And the Fed has no credible "exit strategy." Eventually interest rates will rise... and when they do, Schiff says, stocks will tank and bonds dip to nothing. Massive new tax hikes will be imposed and programs and entitlements will be cut to the bone.
