ASML shares fell in late trading on Monday as investors sold into strength, capitalizing on recent gains in the semiconductor sector.
The Dutch lithography giant’s stock was among the most affected as traders on the Amsterdam exchange offloaded positions in the final hours of the session.
The selling pressure reflects a broader shift in sentiment toward high-multiple technology stocks.
Institutional investors and hedge funds have been reducing exposure to semiconductor and tech hardware names for several weeks, according to recent market data.
This rotation suggests that traders are prioritizing risk management and liquidity over further upside in a sector that has seen significant appreciation.
ASML, a critical supplier to the global chip supply chain, remains a bellwether for the industry.
