ASML Holding is trading 8.43% up at $12.74 after semiconductor stocks strengthened and investors renewed optimism about AI infrastructure demand.

  • The move follows Nvidia’s announced $12.93 billion acquisition of Hugging Face, reinforcing enthusiasm across the AI ecosystem; Reuters reported the transaction on September 3, 2026.
  • No new ASML-specific announcement was identified for September 7, 2026, so the rally appears sector-led rather than company-specific.
