Applied Materials Analysis Analysis done on hourly timeframe. Newly released earnings from ASML impacted the semiconductor sector this week, leading shares of many companies lower following the report.** ASML's earnings are significant because it is the largest technology company on the European market, and its results directly indicate demand in the semiconductor space, both in Europe and internationally.

BYD Co. (BYDDY) Analysis Global competition in the electric vehicle (EV) market is intensifying, particularly for Chinese companies like BYD, which have faced obstacles such as tariffs and price wars to sustain their market presence.
