fluctuations we've been observing for several months now. IMO this is due to the fact that the year 2018 will remain flat Q-on-Q. The stock consolidates ever since this became clear in spring and will most probably continue until the end of the year or at least until fall when it could move up with the broader market year-end rally (sure, wild speculations from my side). Or until Aixtron gives some good news on OLED and Apeva. I think there is just no news that would really urge anybody to buy. On top of it the whole market in Europe does not move up.
But you have put it very well about the mega trends and the LV. My only concerns are that: - the mega trend stops or gets flattened due to a crisis - some competitor catches up (most likely Veeco). Sure, in the latter case one can just change the horse ... or bet on both. |
