On June 17, ASML rose 4.87% in pre-market trading, trading at $1,887.79/share, with turnover of $6.33 million.
The rally was driven by three key catalysts. First, the semiconductor equipment sector broadly strengthened, with peers Applied Materials up 3.3%, Lam Research up 3.91%, KLA-Tencor up 4.09%, Teradyne up 2.6%, and Amkor Technology up 6.35%, reflecting a sector-wide recovery that lifted individual names. Second, Elon Musk previously appeared via video link at ASML's internal annual technology conference, detailing the Terafab super chip factory plan — a project with total investment potentially reaching $119 billion, targeting 2nm advanced process nodes requiring large-scale procurement of EUV lithography equipment, providing substantial potential order backlog growth for ASML. Third, JPMorgan raised its target price on ASML to $2,200 and Morgan Stanley raised its target to €1,660, both maintaining overweight ratings, continuing to support the company's valuation.
