ASML (AMS/NASDAQ: ASML) powers the world’s most advanced chips. In this episode of the Intelligent Wealth Podcast, Tony Byrne (Fund Manager), Carl Roberts (Fellow Director) and Awet Ghirmay (Head of Research) break down ASML’s EUV monopoly, why TSMC/Intel/Samsung depend on it, the 70/30 revenue mix (systems vs services), backlog, buybacks, valuation, and the big risks (customer concentration, supply chain, geopolitics, and “what’s next” tech shifts).
Why it matters for serious investors: ASML sits at the “picks & shovels” layer of the AI and semiconductor supercycle. From EUV dominance and 14k+ patents to a growing services flywheel, we discuss whether today’s premium is justified and how to think about long-term returns.
Keypoints:
00:00 Introduction to ASML and the Podcast
02:01 Understanding ASML's Business Model
