ASML Holdings (ASML)
Entry: Unlock
Price target: 805.00-815.00
Second PT: Unlock
ASML Holdings, Europe’s largest technology company by market capitalization, is currently valued at $278 billion. It plays a crucial role in the semiconductor industry, specializing in photolithography systems that enable the optical etching of circuit patterns onto silicon wafers. Notably, ASML is the sole producer of high-end extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, essential for manufacturing the world’s smallest, most efficient, and highest-density chips. The world’s leading chip companies, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Samsung, and Intel, rely on these systems.
Over the past twelve months, ASML’s stock has declined by more than 25%, creating a potential opportunity for investors. The company's dominant position in the semiconductor market makes it a highly attractive investment, and top analysts indicate that its 2025 guidance is well within reach. ASML closed 2024 with $30.57 billion in annual revenue, a figure expected to climb as high as $37 billion in 2025, with net income projected to rise accordingly.
From a technical perspective, ASML has shown resilience despite the broader market downturn, maintaining support even as it trades near its 52-week lows. This suggests that buyers are holding firm at these levels, potentially positioning the stock for a rebound.

Qualcomm (QCOM)
Entry: Unlock
Price target: 180.00-185.00
Second PT: Unlock
Qualcomm is one of the largest semiconductor and telecommunications products and services companies in the world, controlling 25% of the smartphone chip market (Statista).
The stock earned a spot on our watchlist after nearly touching a 52-week low earlier this month. Like the rest of the market, it was affected by the market-wide sell-off. However, it maintained its support level during the drop, and when the market bounced, its relative strength on the buying side was significant. Technical analysis alone is not enough to justify a buy, so we’re going to review its financials to see if it presents a real opportunity.
Looking into Qualcomm’s financial performance, we immediately notice that the stock is trading well below the industry average. While the semiconductor industry is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio upwards of 40x, QCOM is trading at a P/E of 16.7x. The company has grown revenue steadily in 2024, and its first quarterly report of 2025 reflected 17.45% revenue growth. Profits have also grown alongside revenue, contributing to QCOM’s low P/E ratio. Qualcomm’s balance sheet boasts $26.88 billion in positive equity, and free cash flow has more than tripled in the last five years to $12.74 billion.
As it stands, Qualcomm is an attractive business to invest in, especially as demand for semiconductors continues to surge with the AI boom. The company’s Snapdragon X Elite chip is designed to power personal computers capable of running the latest artificial intelligence software. It is also significantly more affordable than competing options, giving Qualcomm an edge in the expensive AI market.
However, the biggest threat to Qualcomm in the coming year is Apple’s decision to transition to in-house chips, which is expected to cut $7–8 billion from Qualcomm’s annual revenue. That is a significant hit, meaning Qualcomm will need to find ways to offset the loss. Investors should watch for updates on this in future earnings reports. While QCOM presents a strong multi-year investment opportunity, a prudent approach would be to enter at these lows while setting a stop-loss just below the 52-week low.

Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM)
Entry: Unlock
Price target: 160.00-165.00
Second PT: Unlock
Demand for organic produce is growing at a higher rate than demand for conventional produce, with growth ranging from 5–10% on the organic side versus only 2% for conventional produce over the past decade. Consumer interest in organic products has been rising even more rapidly in recent years, benefiting stores like Sprouts Farmers Market in their expansion.
The 20-year-old company ramped up its presence in 2024, opening 33 new stores to reach a total of 440 locations across 24 states. Sprouts plans to expand even further in 2025, with seven store locations already planned for Florida and an ambitious 300 additional stores targeted for markets including California, Texas, Florida, and the Mid-Atlantic region. Despite significant spending on new locations, the company’s fundamentals reflect strong financial management, which may explain its outstanding stock performance over the past 12 months.
Looking at its financials, Sprouts saw revenue grow by 12.90% in 2024, while net income surged by 47%. Although its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is relatively high at 36x, future earnings trends suggest that the P/E will ease following upcoming quarterly reports. The company’s balance sheet, while modest, still holds positive equity of $1.32 billion, and free cash flow reached $414 million.
Sprouts earned a spot on our watchlist following its recent stock pullback, which brought it below the 100-day moving average—a level not seen since late 2023. This could present an opportunity to start a position in the stock and gain exposure ahead of its future growth plans.
