Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on ASML Inc. (NASDAQ: ASML) price target of EUR42.

Analyst,Carmen Boyero, said, "ASML announced a major customer co-investment program yesterday evening. The key takeaways, in our view, are: 1) Strong early commitments likely to accelerate availability of the next generation technologies – two years earlier than previously anticipated. 2) Development risks shared with key customers – industry roadmap and timeline more closely aligned. 3) Further potential for ASML to consolidate and strengthen its dominant position at the cutting edge longer term (currently +80% of the immersion market in unit sales) We consider the announcement favorable to ASML, with Intel’s (Nasdaq: INTC) participation suggesting support is shifting further towards ASML despite Nikon’s latest S621D immersion flags."
