Summary

84% Informative

ASML is the world's leading producer of lithography systems, which are used to optically etch circuit patterns onto silicon wafers.

Applied Materials provides a wider range of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, services, and software for the foundry, logic, and memory chip markets.

Over the past three years , ASML 's stock dipped 5% as Applied Materials' stock rose 15% .

ASML 's monopolization of the EUV market, its lower exposure to China , and its stronger growth rates still make it a more promising investment than Applied Materials .

Applied Materials' valuations were compressed by the concerns regarding its future in China .

If you believe it can weather those headwinds and offset that pressure with its growth in other markets, it might be undervalued at its current prices.
