Why ASML Holdings Plunged Today

ASML stock fell 5.75% after reports that China is manufacturing its own deep-ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines. However, analysts argue the threat is overstated given ASML's dominance, China's production capacity (5-20 machines annually vs ASML's 130+), and ASML's shift toward higher-margin EUV technology. The sell-off may present a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
