I initially thought you were wrong, but you are not.

“Monopolization” [0], which a Wikipedia section on “Sherman Act of 1890” [1] lead me to, is maintaining a monopoly “through conduct deemed unlawfully exclusionary. The mere fact that conduct disadvantages rivals does not... constitute... exclusionary conduct.”

I am most surprised that the Sherman Act explicitly targets monopolization, not monopolies.
