Author argues ASML is a dominant, competitively protected long-term pick with no near-term bear case.

ASML — LONG The author argues ASML has little to no competition and produces essential lithography machines for major chipmakers. Continued development of Hyper-NA for sub-1nm designs supports future demand, and near-term dominance is expected to persist. The acknowledged risk is eventual physical limits of lithography, but the author does not see this affecting the near-to-long term.

ASML is arguably one of the most important companies in the world, with little to no competition, producing the machines required to produce the chips for companies such TSMC, Apple, etc.
