The shallowest drawdown of the five
ASML closed at $1,740.99 on 7 August 2026.1 It is a company rather than a fund, and it makes the lithography equipment that chip manufacturers buy. ASML's primary listing is in Amsterdam and the prices here are its US line, so every figure in this note is what a dollar-based holder of the US-traded share experienced. That return contains the euro-denominated move and the currency translation together, and it is not a clean measure of the company's local-currency return. Over twelve months it returned +144.1% on price against +22.4% for the S&P 500. Over three years it returned +156.3% and over five +122.3%. Its 52-week closing range ran from $721.31 to $1,989.44. At $1,740.99 it sits 12.5% below its closing high, and its deepest fall inside the year was 22.1%. That is the shallowest one-year drawdown in this batch. Of the five chip names here, this is the one that has moved most steadily. Across the five chip names in this batch, the deepest one-year falls run from 22.1% here to 48.4% at MARVELL (MRVL). ASML is the calm end of a volatile group.
