Stifel downgraded ASML to Hold from Buy with a price target of EUR 650, down from EUR 750. The analyst expects ASML’s industry outperformance in 2023 to pause in 2024. The current demand shift from leading-edge to mature semiconductor production technology capex at leading foundries should imply extreme ultraviolet demand pushouts, as evidenced by a weak order intake for EUV tools in Q1, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says this should negatively impact growth expectations for 2024 and 2025.
