[ASML]

SK Hynix announced the acquisition of ASML's EUV systems for 11.9 trillion won, a positive development that reaffirms the increasing demand for semiconductor equipment and ASML's technological monopoly. If positive factors continue and additional order confirmations emerge, there is a high likelihood that the upward trend will persist. Conversely, if there are delays in the acquisition process or a decline in the semiconductor cycle leads to weakened demand, a correction may occur. — Source: https://seekingalpha.com/news/4611651-sk-hynix-plans-to-spend-119t-won-to-acquire-asmls-euv-systems At this point, if one were to look at this, it would likely be assessed that ASML's stock price is highly likely to surge due to SK Hynix's large-scale acquisition news. In particular, examining the candlestick movement from June 29 to July 1 shows a strong upward trend, and it would be concluded that there is additional upward potential from the closing price of 1822.7 on July 6. Furthermore, there are precedents from similar past cases (VEYE, LRCX, AMD) where stock prices surged immediately after positive news was announced, suggesting that this news could lead to a similar scenario. The actual result significantly exceeded the forecasted return of 4.2%, achieving an OVERHIT rating of 154.7%. Analyzing the candlestick flow, it was assessed that a bullish trend was likely to continue from June 29 to July 1; however, a larger upward trend occurred with a sharp rise in stock prices immediately following the announcement of positive news. In particular, the assessment that the acquisition news of SK hynix would lead to ASML's technological monopoly and increased demand was correct, but the scale and speed of this development were underestimated. Additionally, while referencing the sharp rise patterns observed in similar past cases, this stock experienced a larger upward movement due to more significant positive news than anticipated. In future trading of similar positive news, it is advisable to set a higher initial target return by referencing past cases with returns exceeding 300%. Additionally, a comprehensive analysis of not only the candlestick flow but also the impact of news and market reactions should be conducted. Furthermore, considering the potential for a sharp rise immediately after the announcement of positive news, it is necessary to adjust the profit-taking timing more flexibly. For example, setting an initial target return of 10% and implementing a strategy to consider partial profit-taking in the event of further increases.
