On July 25, ASML Holding NV declined 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $1,748.00/share, with turnover of $1.453 billion. The stock came under broad selling pressure alongside the entire semiconductor equipment sector despite the company's recently strong earnings performance.
On the news front, despite ASML delivering a beat-and-raise Q2 earnings report with net sales of 9.33 billion euros and raising full-year revenue guidance to 430-450 billion euros with gross margins of 54%-56%, the market exhibited a classic sell-the-news pattern with investors locking in profits. Additionally, TSMC's decision to raise its capital expenditure ceiling to $64 billion sparked deeper concerns about potential future chip overcapacity, adding downward pressure across semiconductor equipment names.
Within the Semiconductor Equipment sector, the overall decline was broad-based. Among individual stocks, Applied Materials fell 5.48%, Lam Research fell 5.24%, KLA-Tencor fell 4.60%, Teradyne fell 7.04%, and Amkor Technology fell 2.85%.
