So, I took some off the table and I still wanted to keep a large position in ASML, and that's where we stand now. Now, when I look at this company, there is the mathematical valuation of it, which puts it around $1,500 per share, but then when I do my fair value assessment and I factor in the strength of the moat and how unique it is, I bump up my fair value a little bit more. So, my fair value, my price target is around $1,800 per share.

Carlson said a purely mathematical valuation puts ASML around $1,500 per share, and that he raised his fair value for the strength and uniqueness of its moat and the demand for its products. He said the stock is a little undervalued.

A fair value estimate is the speaker's view of what an asset is worth, given without a date by which the price should get there. With no deadline there is nothing to check, so we record the estimate as said, next to the close of the day before, and never mark it as Hit or Missed.
