ASML underperforms semiconductor sector and potential for stock split
- 1ASML's 189% stock price increase over the past three years trailed the 247% increase of the PHLX semiconductor sector index over the same period.
- 2ASML sold 113 new lithography systems in the last quarter.
- 3ASML's per-share trading price of over $1,600 could serve as a means to increase retail investor demand through a stock split.
So what's the key point?
ASML's stock price has risen less than semiconductor-related indices. Because the share price is high, splitting the stock could make it easier for individual investors to buy.
