3 Stocks With Monopoly Power—and Minimal Competition
The word "monopoly" has a negative reputation in the investment and economic communities, as it is often linked to abusive pricing and unfair advantages that many other businesses and investors might not face. However, monopolies (or near-monopolies for that matter) can also mean outsized returns for investors who can spot them.
ASML: Focus On What Will Not Change
ASML Holding N.V.'s core moat—its monopoly on advanced lithography tools—remains unchallenged despite trade uncertainty and cyclical headwinds. Secular demand drivers like AI, automation, and data infrastructure support robust long-term growth for high-end chips and, by extension, ASML. Valuation is attractive, with healthy margins and limited competitive threats; current weakness reflects priced-in short-term risks, not fundamentals.
ASML Holdings: Attractive Entry Point In A Technological Powerhouse
ASML's recent stock decline is overdone; market overestimates 2026–2027 revenue risk, creating a compelling buying opportunity. My analysis projects a worst-case 12.9% revenue decline, far less severe than the market's implied 21.2%, with Intel's CAPEX cuts manageable. ASML's technological leadership, unmatched supply chain, and strategic partnerships secure its long-term competitive advantage and premium valuation.
