‘Buy the Dip Now,' Says Five-Star Analyst after ASML Stock Sinks

Shares of ASML Holding (ASML) are plunging in today's trading after the semiconductor company released its second-quarter results and gave a cautious outlook. However, Evercore ISI, led by five-star analyst Mark Lipacis, sees this as a buying opportunity. Despite the short-term weakness, Evercore kept its Outperform rating and €803 price target on the firm's European ticker (NL:ASML). Lipacis pointed out that ASML's valuation has already dropped significantly, as its price-to-earnings ratio has compressed by about 35-40% over the past nine months.

As a result, he believes that this decline already reflects negative news, therefore making the current dip a good entry point. He also noted that demand for AI-related chips continues to grow, especially in foundry logic and DRAM, which should help support ASML's long-term growth story. While ASML beat both revenue and earnings expectations for Q2, its forecast for the next quarter came in below what analysts were expecting. Indeed, the company projected Q3 revenue between €7.4 billion and €7.9 billion, which missed market estimates of €8.3 billion.
It is also worth noting that Lipacis admitted that ASML's gross margins could decline in the second half of 2025. This is due to how revenue is recognized from its High Numerical Aperture (High NA) technology, as well as a lower mix of high-margin upgrade sales. Still, Evercore believes ASML is on track to hit its 2025 goals and is confident in its long-term potential.
Is ASML Stock a Good Buy?
Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on ASML stock based on two Buys, five Holds, and zero Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average ASML price target of $877.75 per share implies 17.3% upside potential.

Iran Tells Europeans To Abandon ‘Worn Out' Threats Amid Nuclear Sanctions Debate

This article was originally published by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and is reprinted with permission. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has called on European powers to halt threats against Tehran, including warnings about reinstating UN sanctions. Tehran's top diplomat wrote on X on July 18 that he told his British, French, and German counterparts, as well as the EU foreign policy chief, during a joint call that Europe 'should act responsibly' and abandon 'worn-out policies of threat and pressure.' He said the EU and the European trio, the so-called E3, have 'no moral or legal ground' to trigger the 'snapback' of UN sanctions. On July 15, French Foreign Minister Jean‑Noel Barrot told fellow EU ministers that the E3 is prepared to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran unless Tehran offers a 'firm, tangible and verifiable commitment.' The Europeans reiterated the same stance during the call with Araqchi, according to a French diplomatic source cited by Reuters, who said Iran was pushed to reach a 'verifiable and lasting' deal with the United States. Under the 2015 nuclear agreement — the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — long‑standing UN restrictions on arms sales, banking, and nuclear‑related technology were lifted a decade ago. European governments can still invoke the deal's 'snapback' mechanism before an October 15 deadline, a step that would restore those sanctions and give them a narrow but significant source of leverage in current negotiations. Iran suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in the wake of the US and Israeli bombing of its nuclear sites last month. The European are pressing for UN nuclear inspectors to resume work in Iran, aiming in part to prevent Tehran from reorganizing its nuclear program after the damage caused by the strikes. Under the 2015 nuclear deal, China and Russia — longtime supporters of Iran in such negotiations — cannot veto a snapback of sanctions. Although the formal window to trigger the mechanism closes in October, European governments could opt to postpone the move beyond that deadline to keep the door open for further talks. Iranian and US negotiators were scheduled to meet in Oslo last week but the meeting was postponed, with apparently no new date agreed upon. 'Any new round of talks is only possible when the other side is ready for a fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial nuclear deal,' Araqchi wrote on X. Speaking at a press briefing this week, US President Donald Trump said that while Iran is eager to engage in talks, he is in 'no rush' to do so, noting that 'we obliterated their sites' in the June 22 strikes on nuclear facilities in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz.

These 14 new NYC restaurants were just added to the Michelin Guide

They're officially on the map. Fourteen Big Apple restaurants were added to the Michelin Guide on Wednesday, and shockingly, most of them were not in Manhattan. Brooklyn had the most Michelin newcomers, with eight. Manhattan managed only six. The borough of churches boasted Middle Eastern restaurant Yemenat in Bay Ridge; 6 Restaurant, a European eatery in Carroll Gardens; Mango Bay, a Caribbean place in Fort Greene; Café Kestrel, a a contemporary joint in Red Hook; Taqueria El Chato in Greenpoint; and Enso, a sushi spot in Williamsburg. Two Brooklyn Thai spots — Glin Thai Bistro in Fort Greene and Hungry Thirsty in Carroll Gardens — also made the cut. Manhattan's new entries were: Adda, an Indian restaurant, and Caribbean Kabawa, both in the East Village; Joomak, a contemporary restaurant, and Central Asian spot Laliko, both in the West Village; along with French restaurant Maison Passerelle in FiDi. Glin Thai Bistro in Fort Greene was one of the 14 new NYC restaurants mentioned in the Michelin Guide. Glin Thai Bistro / Facebook Adda, an Indian restaurant in the East Village, was also amongst the newcomers to the list. Adda / Instagram The one Manhattan newcomer above 14th Street was Papa San, a Japanese-Peruvian eatery on West 34th Street. When looking at all the NYC entries in the Michelin Guide, Manhattan leads the way with 263 restaurants mentioned. Brooklyn is second with 82 entries; followed by Queens (18), the Bronx (six) and Staten Island (four).

ASML (ASML) Gets EUR700 Price Target From Deutsche Bank — Analysts Stick With ‘Buy' Despite Headwinds

ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) is one of the AI Stocks on Wall Street's Radar. On July 17, Deutsche Bank analyst Robert Sanders lowered the price target on the stock to EUR700.00 (from EUR750.00) while maintaining a 'Buy' rating. The price target reduction follows ASML narrowing its 2025 sales growth forecast to 15%. It now expects sales to grow roughly 32.50 billion euros ($37.71 billion). The firm is particularly concerned about ASML's lowered extreme ultraviolet (EUV) unit shipment forecast for 2025. The forecast was reduced from 'below 50' low NA shipments to just 42 units, which suggests execution issues at key customers, Intel and Samsung. It noted how Intel has bought a fleet of EUV equipment for its 18A technology ramp. However, it seems to be experiencing difficulties, particularly for external customers. A street-level view of a large financial firm, symbolizing the strength of the company's investments. For Samsung, the firm's analysis reveals that the company kept on investing despite the DRAM market being down. As a result, there is an excess of High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) capacity, but it's still waiting on Nvidia for approval. ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) develops and sells advanced semiconductor equipment, including lithography, metrology, and inspection systems for chip manufacturing. While we acknowledge the potential of ASML as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
