Shares of ASML Holding NV (ASML), a leading manufacturer of photolithography equipment for the semiconductor industry, surged 5.17% in intraday trading on Monday, riding the wave of a broader rally in the semiconductor sector.
The semiconductor industry witnessed a strong start to the week, with major players like Nvidia, Qualcomm, STMicroelectronics, AMD, Arm, and Broadcom all posting significant gains. This positive sentiment in the sector likely contributed to ASML's stock price surge.
Adding to the bullish sentiment, analysts from J.P. Morgan and Bank of America Securities reiterated their "Buy" ratings on ASML stock, citing the company's strong market position and growth prospects. J.P. Morgan's Sandeep Deshpande maintained a "Buy" rating with an optimistic price target, while Bank of America's Didier Scemama also kept a "Buy" rating despite potential risks from export restrictions.
Furthermore, the potential for Nvidia to deliver another blockbuster revenue performance, exceeding Wall Street's high expectations, could have had a positive spillover effect on ASML. As a key supplier to Nvidia and other semiconductor giants, ASML's fortunes are closely tied to the success of its customers.
