I still believe $ASML (-0,91 %) is an absolutely fantastic company with an incredibly strong long-term future. It’s one of those rare businesses with a true technological moat and a dominant global position.
That said, after buying my ASML shares around €630, I decided yesterday to sell them at approximately €1.174.- Not because my conviction in the company has changed, but simply because I felt it was the right moment to lock in a very solid gain and redeploy that capital into other opportunities. I am happy to dive in again if the stockprice declines to about € 750,-
With the proceeds, I’ve reinvested into $CSG (-3,14 %) , $NVDA (-0,87 %) , and $AMZN (-0,47 %) . The reasoning behind this is diversification with clear themes in mind:
- $CSG (-3,14 %) because I wanted exposure to a defense-related stock, which I see as increasingly relevant in the current geopolitical climate.
- $NVDA (-0,87 %) to stay firmly positioned in the AI space, which I believe is still in a strong growth phase.
- $AMZN (-0,47 %) because I see it as a global powerhouse, not only in online retail but also in cloud services and AI-driven web applications.
So overall, this move wasn’t about losing faith in ASML, but about capitalizing on a strong run and spreading risk while staying invested in long-term growth themes.
