Joseph Carlson After Hours on $ASML (Nov 2, 2026)
ASML's unassailable competitive advantage makes it exceptional; after sliding from about $2,000 at the market peak to around $1,500, it looks slightly undervalued once that advantage is weighed against its roughly $1,500 accounting value. The speaker keeps a large position and sees some upside ahead, but not a huge opportunity.

Now, we move on to ASML. A major winner in the portfolio, with a financial position valued at $110,000, of which $77,000 is profit. This stock has made significant gains in a short time.
I am slightly biased towards ASML. I think this company is incredibly good. I think the Dutch have come up with something that no one else can . When you read about this company, you find that it is more like a very complex scientific experiment .
No one else can really outrun them, close the gap, or breach their competitive fortress.
When I look at the company, I find that it has retreated slightly from its highest levels. ASML's stock price has risen to around $2,000 per share . This was during the peak of market optimism, when everything was going well .
Since then, the stock has given up some of its gains, falling back to around $1,500 per share .
When ASML stock reached around $1,900, I sold 20% of my position in it. This is what funded my investments in Dor Dash and Uber. I have made some profits, but I still want to maintain a large position in ASML , and that is our current situation.
When I look at this company, I find its accounting value to be around $1,500 per share, but when I assess fair value and take into account the strength of the competitive advantage and its uniqueness, I
Given the demand for this stock, its unassailable competitive advantage, and its unique nature, it truly is an exceptional company. Therefore, I think it is slightly undervalued today.
I don't think ASML stock represents a huge opportunity , but I do believe there is still room for some upside in the stock today.
