About ASML Holding

ASML is the leader in photolithography systems used in manufacturing semiconductors. Photolithography is the process in which a light source is used to expose circuit patterns from a photo mask onto a semiconductor wafer. The latest technological advances in this segment allow chipmakers to continually increase the number of transistors on the same area of silicon, with lithography historically representing a high portion of the cost of making cutting-edge chips. ASML outsources the manufacturing of most of its parts, acting like an assembler. ASML's main clients are TSMC, Samsung, and Intel.

Analyst projections of the future price of ASML Holding stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

ASML delivered record third-quarter sales of €11.7 billion and raised its 2026 sales outlook to €44–45 billion, with a strong fourth-quarter forecast pointing to continued growth. (ASML)
Customers are increasing equipment plans as AI-related chip demand outstrips supply, with some already discussing orders for 2029 and 2030. That gives ASML unusually long visibility into demand for its tools. (Reuters)
ASML's next-generation High-NA EUV tools are moving towards production use: Samsung plans adoption for DRAM in 2028 and TSMC for advanced chips in 2030, while Intel has processed more than a million wafers. This supports a future growth path beyond current EUV systems. (Reuters)
China is expected to contribute about 20% of 2026 sales, leaving ASML exposed to proposed US restrictions that could block remaining sales and servicing of immersion DUV tools there. (Reuters, Bloomberg Law)
ASML says its planned capacity will not meet customer demand in 2027 or 2028, and its Eindhoven expansion will not begin coming online until 2029. The shortfall could limit how quickly the company turns strong demand into sales. (Reuters)
The outlook depends heavily on AI investment holding up, yet ASML shares had already risen nearly 70% this year and investors are looking for signs of a downturn beyond 2028. If chipmakers rein in spending, expectations built on long-dated demand could prove vulnerable. (Reuters)
