This report covers market activity in the TMT sector, highlighting ASML's robust capacity guidance against the backdrop of an IBM-led software wobble. It also details major M&A rumors including a potential Stripe-PayPal deal and ongoing Uber-Delivery Hero negotiations.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.ASML beat Q2 earnings and raised EUV capacity outlook for 2027-2028, signaling strong AI-driven demand.
  • 2.IBM's revenue miss and subsequent -17% move acted as a negative read-across for enterprise IT, but is seen as specific to mainframe/software rather than a sector-wide demand collapse.
  • 3.Stripe and Advent International have reportedly offered to acquire PayPal for >$53bn, highlighting the depressed valuation in the payments sector.
