On July 6, ASML rose 3.92% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $1,835.95/share, with turnover of $1.9408 million. The move came as the semiconductor equipment sector staged a broad-based rebound following a deep correction earlier in the week, compounded by a wave of investment bank upgrades.
On the catalyst front, Goldman Sachs raised its target price on ASML from €1,770 to €2,000, while UBS reaffirmed the stock as its top pick in European tech hardware with a €2,100 target. Degroof Petercam upgraded its rating to Buy and lifted its target to €2,100. Fundamentally, ASML had previously raised its full-year revenue guidance, confirming sustained demand growth for advanced EUV lithography systems driven by AI chip manufacturing expansion.
The broader semiconductor equipment sector exhibited synchronized recovery, with Applied Materials up 3.66%, KLA-Tencor up 3.91%, Lam Research up 3.53%, Teradyne up 3.73%, and Entegris up 2.03%, reflecting sector-wide mean reversion after the sharp July 2 selloff that saw peers decline 8-14%.
