Opportunities in the Stock Market: Two Growth Stocks in Focus

Investing in quality is always a wise decision. It becomes particularly advantageous when excellent growth stocks can be acquired at a reduced price. Currently, there are two promising opportunities for investors that could be attractive for a portfolio despite turbulent waters and volatility. One company that might be less well-known but is by no means insignificant is called ASML Holding. The Dutch specialist supplies the world’s high-performance chip manufacturers with advanced lithographic solutions, enabling the production of particularly small and powerful microchips. ASML holds an estimated 90% market share in this segment, as the complexity and patent protection of their technology make imitation nearly impossible. However, ASML also faces the economic and geopolitical challenges of the semiconductor industry. After an impressive revenue growth of over 40% last year, revenues are currently stagnating, which has caused the stock price to drop by 36% since July. However, analysts predict solid revenue growth of at least 19% for the year 2025, with profits potentially rising even more. Despite its current weakness, many analysts continue to rate ASML as a strong buy, as the market has already priced in the negative news. Another promising, currently discounted growth company is Plug Power. Its history differs significantly from that of ASML.
