There are companies that are good, companies that are great. And then there’s ASML — a company without which modern civilization literally cannot manufacture chips. No other company in the world can do what they do. And the results for 2025 only confirmed that.
ASML has a great position, sure, but semiconductors are an extremely cyclical business influenced by a lot of external factors — geopolitics, various export bans, and whether customers like TSMC or Samsung are willing to pour billions into new fabs. And one more thing occurs to me: if chip performance started being pushed more by packaging, chiplets, and smarter architecture instead of ever-smaller transistors, ASML might not be as indispensable as it seems today.

To me, an interesting company. In the long term it could make sense, but I’d be cautious, because competitors like $CRM are extremely strong and won’t be easy to take on. A lot will depend on how well HubSpot can sustain growth and margins. I also see the company is trading at low levels. What attracted you to the company?
Investors, have you ever sold a position too early, or conversely, too late? If so, which stock was it?
I try to sell as little as possible and hold stocks for several years, but I remember, for example, $CVS or $MMM, which I sold because of various problems and lawsuits. A few months later they rose by several tens of percent. Timing isn't always right, but that's just part of... Read more

I get that you sold $MMM, I was tempted too. Right now, though, I feel like getting rid of it for a pretty solid profit :D.
