What it means
ASML's capacity upgrade and raised sales forecast have historically been associated with relief in semiconductor supply chains and gains across chip-related equities, as bottleneck fears ease for AI hardware. The direct beneficiary is ASML itself, with broader but more modest positive sentiment rippling into chipmakers and AI infrastructure companies. These moves tend to be strongest in the short term around the earnings/guidance beat. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
