ASML Up, Easyjet Slumps, Monte Dei Paschi Drama | Stock Movers
The Bloomberg Stock Movers roundup highlighted three distinct stories shaping European markets: a surge in semiconductor optimism driven by TSMC’s robust earnings, mounting pressure on airlines from soaring fuel costs, and a contentious boardroom battle at Italy’s historic bank Monte dei Paschi. TSMC reported higher‑than‑expected revenue and profit, confirming upper‑range capital‑spending guidance and underscoring resilient demand for AI‑focused chips. Because roughly 17% of ASML’s sales come from TSMC, the Dutch lithography giant saw its shares climb despite a modest dip after its own guidance was already priced in. Conversely, EasyJet disclosed a sizable first‑half loss, citing an extra £25 million in March fuel expenses and the broader uncertainty of the Middle‑East conflict. While the CEO downplayed immediate jet‑fuel shortages, analysts warned that continued tension in the Strait of Hormuz could jeopardize supply and force higher fares during the crucial summer travel season. In Milan, shareholders narrowly re‑elected CEO Luigi Lovaglio after the outgoing board attempted to oust him, keeping the power struggle over the bank’s recent acquisitions and insurance stake alive. The vote’s closeness signals ongoing governance risk that could weigh on the bank’s valuation.
