They booked €9.2 billion in orders during a cyclical trough.
Thesis: The Street sees a flat 2024; the Order Book sees a vertical 2025. Memory makers are panic-buying EUV for HBM/DDR5, driving a 'Structural Demand Shift.' ASML isn't demand-constrained; they are supply-constrained, which equals pricing power. The 3800E transition boosts ASPs. You own the only toll road to AI silicon.
Verdict: LONG — Conviction: HIGH
Catalyst: Q1/Q2 2024 bookings confirming the run-rate implies €35B+ revenue for 2025.
Key Risk: Export controls biting harder than the '10-15%' guided, specifically if legacy immersion gets restricted.
The Tell: Wennink admitted: 'We were surprised about the technology requirements... for litho, EUV specifically' for memory. They underestimated the AI-driven layer count intensity, meaning their own capacity planning was too conservative.
Friction Level: MODERATE_FRICTION — Street models flat 2024 revenue as weakness; Orders show it's a capacity constraint bridging to a vertical 2025.
