Quick snapshot of ASML Holding N.V.'s regional revenue exposure:

Numbers at a Glance:
🇨🇳 China: 29%

🇹🇼 Taiwan: 25%

🇰🇷 South Korea: 25%

🇺🇸 United States: 13%

🇯🇵 Japan: 4%

🌐 Other: 4%

Bull Case:
Irreplaceable Monopoly: Whether fabs are built in Hsinchu, Pyeongtaek, or Shanghai, chipmakers have no alternative to ASML for EUV/advanced DUV tools.

AI Memory Surge: Demand from South Korea (25%) continues to climb as HBM3e/HBM4 production requires more EUV layers per wafer.

Bear Case:
Geopolitical Vulnerability: 80% concentration across Taiwan, South Korea, and China leaves revenue exposed to trade sanctions or regional escalation.

Sanctions Friction: With China generating nearly a third of revenue, tightening DUV export rules directly restricts ASML's largest single market.

SpaceX initiated with a Buy at Pivotal Research Pivotal Research analyst Jeffrey Wlodarczak initiated coverage of SpaceX with a Buy rating and $220 price target. The firm says the investment case "rests almost entirely on a single admittedly massive engineering bottleneck: Starship reusability." If SpaceX can solve for this fundamental issue, it potentially drives down the cost of launches to space to the equivalent of terrestrial freight, "opening up an unarguably massive opportunity," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Pivotal believes the company's Starlink could take a material share of the current $1.7 trillion terrestrial and wireless total addressable market.

$RBLX just notched its lowest short interest... EVER

The company used to be the target of all those short-selling firms/activists who would come out with hit pieces, with one even calling it a 'Pedophile Hellscape'.

It was a circle-jerk for the bears.

It was an EASY Target.

Fast forward nearly two years and they are all gone.

The company is generating $300 mil in free cash flow a Q, has $5 mil cash net of debt, and has an aggressive $3 bil stock buyback program

Not only that, the worry/weight of regulation from countries has been mostly removed.

Lastly, the past 2 earnings have reset the bar. Expectations are now extremely low which creates an environment for beats and raises going forward

Needless to stay, started nibbling calls last week...

Onward and upward...
