ASML Holding has delivered a 124.3% share price gain over the past year, yet its broader valuation checks still lean cautious, which leaves investors weighing a strong track record of returns against a stock that does not screen as a straightforward bargain. Over the last 12 months ASML Holding is up 124.3%, which puts fresh focus on whether recent enthusiasm is already reflected in the share price. Strong demand linked to advanced chipmaking tools and AI related spending can support...

ASML shares fell after it was reported that a Chinese company is set to ship homegrown DUV machines.

China has started producing domestic immersion deep-ultraviolet lithography tools, Reuters reported on July 28. State-backed Shanghai Aishengna Electronic Technology Group plans to deliver machines to Semiconductor Manufacturing International, Hua Hong Semiconductor and memory producer ChangXin Memory Technologies.

China's launch of a homegrown type of advanced lithography chip printing machine is spotlighting how European chip tool maker ASML, whose recent share price surge made it Europe's most valuable listed company, is being squeezed between two sides. On ‌the one hand, U.S. controls on exports of high-tech goods to China are threatening to reduce access to a major market; and on ‌the other, Beijing's push for technological independence in areas such as chip production raises the possibility of a China-based competitor. Reuters reported on Tuesday that a little-known Chinese state-owned firm called Shanghai Aishengna ​Electronic Technology Group was leading an effort to mass produce locally made immersion deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography tools, key to modern chipmaking.

A chip ETF just posted one of its best years on record, and the stock everyone expected to lead it barely showed up. The real story is which names hijacked the rally and why the fund's rulebook deserves more credit than any of its holdings.

Asian stock markets churned downwards on Tuesday, with tech-exposed exchanges closing sharply lower

Tech shares are in for a rough day, with Nasdaq futures down nearly 0.8%. Behind some of the bearish outlook: fears that the West could lose its stranglehold on a crucial component of the chip supply chain. Chip stocks sank yesterday after a report in the Information said an unnamed Chinese-state backed company had begun making deep ultraviolet lithography machines, which use UV light to print microscopic patterns on the silicon wafers that go into chips.

↘️ Samsung (KR:005930), SK Hynix (KR:000660, SKHY): Shares in both chipmakers dropped more than 13% as part of a broader selloff amid mounting doubts over the AI boom. Over in the U.S., Micron Technology (MU), Intel (INTC) and other chip stocks are also sliding premarket.

China has begun mass producing domestically developed immersion deep-ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines, a technology crucial to advanced chipmaking, a person familiar with the matter said, marking a key step forward in Beijing's drive to ‌reduce its reliance on foreign technologies. Shanghai Aishengna Electronic Technology Group, a little-known Chinese state-owned company, is leading the production effort ‌after incorporating teams from top Chinese lithography startups, the source said, declining to be named due to the sensitivity of the subject. The development represents a win for Beijing's nationwide ​semiconductor self-sufficiency initiative, one of President Xi Jinping's highest priorities, but will not pose an immediate commercial threat for Dutch supplier ASML.
