Could this chipmaker be worth $500 billion next year?
While most growth investors look towards the FAANG stocks in the US, a lesser-known Dutch company is all the talk in the institutional world. ASML – Europe's largest tech company – is considered the linchpin of the world’s semiconductor industry. The company is the only one in the world that offers extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines.
The world’s largest chipmaker, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) which provides 90% of the world’s chips, uses these machines from ASML to create its smallest and most advanced chips.
Over the past year, the pandemic caused a global chip shortage sending chip maker stocks soaring higher. According to some analysts interview by CNBC, ASML’s current market cap of around $300 billion could surge higher to $500 billion next year.
