$ASML Q3 Revenue Beat Odds
Watching $ASML ahead of their Q3 earnings. Given recent sector momentum and the high demand for advanced lithography, I'm putting the odds of them beating revenue estimates at around 70%. The current intraday action, hovering around 1753.42, suggests some consolidation, but the underlying demand for their tech, especially given the ongoing AI hardware race, points to continued strong order books. The range has been tight today, 1750.31995–1768.94995, indicating a coiled spring rather than exhaustion. A beat wouldn't be a massive surprise, but the magnitude is key for post-earnings movement. Could see a move past 1800 if they deliver a strong beat and guide positively, especially on EUV demand. Conversely, any hint of order slowdown or significant margin compression, while less likely, would be sharply punished. Not saying it's a guaranteed breakout, but the wind seems to be at their back.
That's an interesting take on ASML's Q3. I'm still trying to understand how much the broader semi-conductor slowdown might impact their high-end demand, even with the AI narrative. Do you think there's any risk of a slight cooling off in order books, or is their tech just too critical?
