Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Semiconductor Materials & Equipment is in expansion. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
The reason to own it still holds.
View ThesisModerate volatility — typically moves about 2% a day.
View RiskNot enough reads yet
ASML's growth relies on its unparalleled position in the semiconductor industry. The company has fully booked manufacturing capacity through 2028, indicating strong demand. Revenue grew 10% in the last quarter, reinforcing this growth trajectory. ASML trades at a forward P/E of 41, which aligns with peer valuations. The price is roughly in line with the growth we forecast. A specific risk is the 10% probability of missing earnings expectations next quarter. Peer multiples imply a price about 23% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-08-31. ASML is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
