Best European Stocks To Buy Now? (March 2021) - YouTube

What's up millennials? Today we're going to do  something we haven't done in a while which is to  

talk about European stocks. Today we're going  to take a look at three different stocks from  

different sectors and different countries as well  so enjoy. The first company we're going to talk  

about is a company called ASML with the ticker  symbol also ASML. This is located on the stock  

exchange in amsterdam so the netherlands. This  is also a dutch company so a company from the  

netherlands and this is one of the leaders in  the semiconductor industry. It has over 28,000  

employees and it has offices in 60 cities within  16 different countries. One of ASML's major  

products is their photolithography systems and  these systems are used for companies that make  

microchips. Of course chips right now are quite  hot so you can see them in basically all the  

digital devices. You're going to see them in all  the cars as well in the future so the microchips  

are very important and therefore the systems that  can make these microchips are also very important.  

So again these are called photolithography  systems. You can see one on the screen right  

now in this youtube video. Basically what they  do is this very incredible system it shoots out  

a ultra violet light and it goes via these like  mirrors something like that. It's projected onto  

what's called a wafer so here on the screen you  can see an example of one of those wafers and  

these wafers can be turned into those microchips.  Those chips then can be used for smartphones, for  

digital devices, for cars as well and of course  in the future we are going to see more and more  

digital devices, more cars that are going to need  chips as well because they become smart if you  

will so i think more and more lithography  systems are going to be needed as well.  

ASML has a market cap of about 185 billion euros.  Keep in mind these are euros of course and they  

just reported their earnings for Q4 and also  for the full year of 2020 and they say that they  

have 14 billion euros in sales in 2020 which for  them was a growth of year over year of about 18%  

versus the year before 2019. With regards to  technical analysis we can see that the long-term  

chart looks very great. Right now on the screen  you can see the graph since 2020 more or less  

and here on the right-hand side you can also see  that for the last year we had a nice return of 83%  

on this stock so again i think long term this  looks like a beautiful chart. We've already  

gone ... we've already had a little correction  today. The entire market is selling over  

like crazy today, it's quite insane to watch,  and ASML was definitely no exception today.  

It's also down more than six percent. It's even  below this 55 daily exponential moving average  

which happened quite a bit in the past as well  in July, August, September, October even we saw  

a few times that it dipped below that 55 EMA but  then quickly came back up and we're now actually  

very close to a support line of 433 euros more or  less. I would kind of expect a bounce up there.  

Hopefully we're going to go back up then but the  market does seem quite kind of frothy right now so  

if this support breaks it could turn into a larger  correction but i could actually see that as an  

opportunity. The second company i'd like to talk  about is Airbus. This has ticker symbol AIR and is  

located on the stock exchange in Paris in France  so this is or this was a collaboration between the  

French, German and Spanish aerospace companies  and the funny thing is that the headquarters  

is actually located in the Netherlands so  it's a very multinational company you could  

say. They have many many products. If we go for  example to aircraft ... commercial aircrafts,  

we can see that they have large planes they  produce for other companies. They also produce  

helicopters for civil and military applications.  They've also got multiple defense airplanes and  

jets as well and if we scroll down a little bit we  can also see they have unmanned aircraft systems  

so basically drones, major drones that can be used  for commercial and military applications as well.  

They have a major space portfolio. You can see  earth observation satellites, telecom satellites,  

all kinds of launchers etc etc etc and one of  the things i really like about Airbus is that  

they continue to innovate as well. They are  also looking into the eVTOL industry like the  

aircraft you can see on the screen right  now. This is a prototype but they already had  

more than 100 test flights with this eVTOL. With  regards to the financials we can say that Airbus  

has a market cap of 78 billion euros and  according to the annual report of 2020 or  

fiscal year 2020 they took quite a big hit on  the revenue part because of COVID 19 of course.  

They had a 70 billion dollars in ... or euros  rather in revenue in 2019 but in 2020 they only  

had 50 billion euros in revenue so that is  a pretty major decline. If we go into the  

chart for this one we can see that this is more or  less a recovery play just like many other airline  

companies out there but i do think this has quite  a lot to go still. Here we see of course the  

corona dump. This was in February, March of last  year but we can see that currently we are trading  

at more or less 100 euros and we still have about  40% to go to go back to that previous all-time  

high. Now we are running into a mental resistance  of 100 euros. We're right on top of the 100 euro  

level right now but i am long-term still bullish  especially if they keep innovating, if they keep  

looking into sectors like the eVTOL industry. With  regards to technical analysis the indicators don't  

really tell me much but i do see some support at  95 euros. I think that could be a nice support  

level and potentially it could even go down to  the 55 EMA which is this white line over here  

so that would mean probably like 93 euros more  or less but i do think if it goes back down there  

it probably is an opportunity. And then the last  company i'd like to talk about is Swiss Re. This  

is under ticker symbol SREN and it's located on  the Swiss stock exchange. This company is located  

in Zurich in Switzerland and Swiss Re is one of  the world's leading providers of reinsurance.  

It's actually funny, i did translations for  this company while i was still working at a  

translation agency. Right now i don't anymore. But  this company is a very huge player in the world of  

reinsurance. What that means, reinsurance, is that  well there are insurance companies that can also  

get insurance themselves as well so they reinsure  themselves against certain risks so this company  

Swiss Re is the reinsurance company. So what  they do, what other companies do is they pass on  

a part of their insurance risk to this company  Swiss Re so that they can get less risk instead.  

And Swiss Re currently is mainly focused  on property, casualty, life and health  

reinsurance. With regards to the financials we can  see that Swiss Re has a market cap of 26 billion  

in Swiss franc so that is about 23 billion euros  and we can also see that in 2020 they had to take  

a very big hit because of COVID 19 of course, a  big hit on their net income. They say that without  

the COVID 19 they would have had a 2.2 billion  dollars in net income but because of COVID 19  

it's only minus 0.9 billion dollars in net income.  What is very nice to know is that Swiss Re offers  

a very juicy dividend of six point six percent  more or less. They offer a dividend of five point  

nine Swiss franc which is about six point six  percent based on the current price per share. If  

we go into the charts we can see that this is also  a recovery play. Here we see the major dump from  

the coronavirus of last year and now we are seeing  a recovery going on right now. We're actually in  

the green today compared to the market being quite  in the red today but i think i'm very bullish long  

term about this chart as well. I think we could  definitely go back to the previous all time high.  

From here to that point would be more or less 30%  so if we go back there then that would be pretty  

good of course. Now with regards to technical  analysis we can see that we have broken above  

a nice resistance level of 85 euros or 85 Swiss  franc i have to say so that is good as well. We  

could come back down to that 85 swiss franc level  but i do think that is an opportunity as well  

just like i said with the other stocks. And if i  look at the indicators they do seem constructive  

to me so yes i am still bullish on this chart  in the long term. So those are three European  

stocks for you to look at. I hope you enjoyed this  video. If you did, please consider sharing this  

video with your friends who might also be looking  into European stocks. And also let me know in the  

comments which of these three stocks are you most  bullish about? With that being said thank you very  

much for taking the time to watch this video  and i hope to see you in the next one. Bye bye!
