ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML<\/a>) was among Jim Cramer\u2019s stock calls on Mad Money as he discussed how semiconductor and AI infrastructure stocks are driving the market higher<\/a>. Answering a caller\u2019s question about the stock, Cramer said:<\/p>\n

Jeez, you know, now, this is the great problem right now. That stock\u2019s been straight up ever since it had a great quarter, and people didn\u2019t understand. I\u2026 am going to say, after the $75 move today, let\u2019s just hope for a down day and get in. I don\u2019t want to top tick it. That\u2019s what I fear, but I think you got a great one.<\/p>\n

ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) builds and maintains semiconductor lithography equipment. It provides systems such as ultraviolet scanners and inspection tools to help chipmakers create integrated-circuit patterns. Cramer mentioned the stock during the January 27 episode and said:<\/p>\n

Whenever there\u2019s a chip shortage like we have now, sooner or later, these companies start buying more manufacturing equipment in order to boost production. That\u2019s why ASML, Applied Materials, KLA, and Cramer fave Lam Research have been roaring because people know that they\u2019ll have big orders as the year goes on. The big four semiconductor capital equipment makers rallied like crazy last year. They\u2019re up anywhere from 29 to 39% just since the beginning of January. You\u2019re not early, but they haven\u2019t run nearly as much as the storage and memory makers. So, relatively, they\u2019ve still got more room to run\u2026<\/p>\n

Now, the specific commentary was about Taiwan Semi investing to meet demand for AI semiconductors, not necessarily memory or data storage chips, but if anything, that\u2019s better for the capital equipment makers because manufacturing AI chips requires more advanced hardware. ASML is best positioned for this type of leading-edge equipment, but all the big four semiconductor capital equipment companies participate in the market, which is why they all had such huge gains in response to Taiwan\u2019s Semi\u2019s quarter. Rational.<\/p>\n

While we acknowledge the potential of ASML as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
