ASML Holding NV is trading 3.2% down at $1721.41 in pre-market as the stock pulls back from a record $700 billion valuation amid broader market pressure.
- The decline follows a significant rally driven by strong AI-related lithography demand, with the stock now giving back gains alongside other high-growth semiconductor names.
- Global risk sentiment has weakened as major U.S. indices face pressure ahead of the upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release.
- The move appears driven by macro factors and sector-wide profit-taking rather than any new company-specific developments.
