One Indicator That Makes ASML a Screaming Buy
Sometimes investing in the companies that supply the tools necessary to make a product is a better bet than investing in the company making the product. For the chip world, ASML Holdings (NASDAQ: ASML) is the only (more on that in a bit) company that provides the machines necessary to make chips with the most transistors possible.
However, a recent patent application from Chinese tech giant Huawei threatens ASML's monopoly. Is this a potential sell signal? Or is ASML still an investible company? Let's find out.
ASML's extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines allow users to etch the world's smallest transistors on a chip. If you've heard of a 7nm (nanometer), 5nm, or 3nm chip, it was made using ASML's machines. ASML has very few customers, with only companies like Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Intel buying its products.
