Market Focus
Aug 18

On August 18, ASML Holding NV fell 3.26% in pre-market trading, trading at 1813.68 USD/share, with turnover of 4.8129 million USD.

The semiconductor equipment sector faced broad-based selling pressure, with the entire industry experiencing a pullback following a strong rally earlier in the month. Among sector peers, AXT Inc fell 7.67%, Teradyne fell 3.9%, Applied Materials fell 3.7%, Lam Research fell 3.48%, and KLA Corporation fell 3.37%. The sector-wide retreat comes after a sharp recovery from August 11 to 14, during which ASML had gained over 3% on the back of Bernstein upgrading global wafer fab equipment spending forecasts and continued share buyback activity. Applied Materials recently experienced a sell-off despite beating earnings expectations, reflecting elevated investor expectations across the sector after cumulative year-to-date gains exceeding 100% for some names. The broad profit-taking across the semiconductor equipment space is weighing on ASML in the near term.
