Bristlemoon Global Fund stated the following regarding ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) is a Dutch company that develops, assembles and sells photolithography (“litho” or “lithography”) machines that are used to print integrated circuit designs onto silicon wafers during the semiconductor fabrication process. ASML is the sole supplier of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines that are used by the likes of TSMC and Intel to fabricate the most advanced chips for AI, smartphones and computing. It also has an effective monopoly over Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) machines which are the primary litho workhorses within a fab.

While we acknowledge the potential of ASML as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
