Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 16 days.
The thesis — published September 2, 2025
ASML makes the key machines that build the most advanced chips, so chipmakers rely on it. The recent slide looks overdone, and buyers are starting to return, which can spark a short-term rebound. India highlighted ASML's tools as it aims for a $100B chip push by 2030, which could grow its future customer base. With durable advantages, we like slowly buying dips for a possible 0-3 month recovery as the chip sector calms after rate swings.
Primary drivers
- ASML is one of the only sources for top-end EUV chip-making tools
- Recent drop looks overdone and buyer interest is picking up this month
- Work with India could widen its long-term potential customer base
- Improving mood around chip stocks makes a short-term rebound more likely
