On July 7, ASML fell 3.07% overnight, trading at $1,773.98/share, with turnover of $9.2112 million. The semiconductor equipment sector experienced widespread selling, with the decline extending across the industry.

On the news front, despite multiple positive catalysts on July 6 — including SK Hynix's announced plan to spend approximately 11.9 trillion Korean won on ASML's EUV lithography equipment and several investment banks raising target prices (Bernstein to €2,300, Goldman Sachs to €2,000, UBS at €2,100) — the stock failed to sustain its intraday rally of over 5% and reversed sharply to close down 4% during the regular session. The overnight session continued this selling momentum.

Within the Semiconductor Equipment sector, stocks declined broadly: AXT Inc fell 5.95%, KLA-Tencor fell 4.86%, Applied Materials fell 4.7%, Lam Research fell 4.53%, and Teradyne fell 4.04%. The sector-wide weakness follows a broader profit-taking wave in AI hardware stocks that began earlier in the week.
