ASML Holding

ASML is the leader in photolithography systems used in the manufacturing of 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.

Top 3 Tech Stocks You'll Regret Missing In November

ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) shares were down 2.22% to $661.43 at market close Wednesday following news of Donald Trump's victory in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">2024 U.S. presidential election</a>.
Trump&#8217;s return to office, coupled with a Republican majority in the Senate and a lead in the House of Representatives, has raised concerns over renewed trade tensions and the possibility of aggressive tariffs.
What To Know: During his campaign, Trump proposed a 60% tariff on Chinese goods, along with a universal 10% tariff on all imports to the U.S. This policy direction is worrying for global technology companies, including ASML, as its advanced lithography machines are essential to semiconductor production worldwide.
ASML's products are already impacted by U.S.-China trade policies, given the semiconductor industry's reliance on complex international supply chains. ASML, which is headquartered in the Netherlands, sells its equipment globally, including to Chinese companies — a significant revenue stream now facing increased uncertainty.

What Else: The potential for additional restrictions on U.S. companies doing business with Chinese firms under Trump's administration could also hurt ASML's business indirectly. If U.S.-based tech giants face hurdles in the Chinese market, their demand for advanced lithography machines from ASML may diminish. 
Additionally, rising economic and political tensions could fuel an ongoing shift in tech supply chains as companies reassess global expansion plans and sourcing, a trend that could complicate ASML's growth strategy over the long term.
Market analysts at JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co underscored Trump's proposed tariffs are likely to be "a direct headwind to global technology trade," which could hit companies like ASML more acutely than other sectors.
Given ASML's reliance on global market stability and free trade to maintain its dominance in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, the return of protectionist trade policies under Trump's administration raises significant concerns about the company's medium- to long-term outlook.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ASML has a 52-week high of $1,110.09 and a 52-week low of $633.80.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In ASML Holding 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) will acquire new high-precision equipment by year-end, enhancing its chipmaking capabilities.
The Dutch supplier ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) will provide Taiwan Semiconductor with high numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet (high NA EUV) lithography machines, each valued at around $350 million, Nikkei Asia <a target="_blank" href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tech/Semiconductors/TSMC-to-receive-ASML-s-next-gen-chip-machines-this-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Kuo noted that ASML may plan to raise equipment prices for major customer Taiwan Semiconductor, but the Taiwanese contract chipmaker is likely to counter with demands for price reductions.

ASML is also battling geopolitical tensions similar to those of Taiwan Semiconductor. The U.S. urged ASML to restrict its technology to China, citing national security threats.
ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41462749/asml-ceo-expects-us-to-apply-pressure-to-ramp-up-china-chip-restrictions-what-you-need-to-know" rel="noreferrer noopener">expects the U.S.</a> to increase pressure on ASML to limit semiconductor technology sales to China.
At the Bloomberg Tech Summit, Fouquet highlighted the U.S.&#8217;s push to curb China&#8217;s chip advancements through export controls.
Fouquet noted that ASML&#8217;s focus in China remains on mature chips, away from the advanced AI-related semiconductors central to U.S. concerns.
ASML expects 2025 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41603527/why-asml-holding-stock-is-down-15-this-month" rel="noreferrer noopener">net sales of</a> 30 billion euros and 35 billion euros ($32.7 billion—$38.2 billion), down from the prior 30 billion euros-40 billion euros, reflecting weaker demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Watching ASML; Shares Move Higher As Company Peer ASM International Reports Q3 Orders Of €815.3 Million Vs €768.8 Million Est.; Q4 Expected Revenue Of €770 Million - €810 Million; Expects Revenue To Be In Range Of €3.2 Billion - €3.6 Billion For 2025

ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) shares have tumbled 15% to $706 in October after the company morning trading following the reported third-quarter earnings, raising concerns about growth prospects in the semiconductor sector. 
The sharp sell-off was triggered by the Dutch semiconductor equipment giant's downward revision to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41339229/asml-earnings-leak-sparks-broad-semiconductor-sell-off-sector-down-sharply-as-dutch-chipmaker-lo">2025 sales forecast</a>, casting a shadow over ASML&#8217;s growth trajectory in a challenging market environment.
What To Know: ASML, a critical supplier of photolithography machines essential to advanced chip manufacturing, reported that it now expects 2025 net sales to fall between €30 billion and €35 billion ($32.7 billion to $38.2 billion), down from its previous outlook range of €30 billion to €40 billion. 
This adjustment indicates the company foresees a softer demand environment than initially projected, especially in markets outside of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing where demand has remained strong. 
However, ASML noted that sluggish recovery in other key sectors—especially in personal electronics and general consumer goods—has impacted the pace of its growth.

What Else: Despite these concerns, ASML's third-quarter results showed robust performance. The company reported net sales of €7.5 billion for the third quarter, exceeding analysts' expectations of €7.12 billion, alongside a strong net income of €2.1 billion and a gross margin of 50.8%. 
Notably, bookings for the quarter reached €2.6 billion, with €1.4 billion attributed to EUV systems—an indicator that demand for the most advanced semiconductor equipment remains resilient even amid broader market pressures. 
For the fourth-quarter, ASML projected net sales between €8.8 billion and €9.2 billion with a gross margin ranging from 49% to 50%, reaffirming its full-year guidance of approximately €28 billion in total sales.
ASML, as the world's only supplier of EUV photolithography equipment, plays an essential role in the semiconductor ecosystem, making its forecasts a bellwether for the sector. 
The company's sales downgrade hints at potentially weaker demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment overall, as customers adjust investment plans in response to uncertain recovery timelines.

You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
In the the case of ASML Holding, which is trading at $707.08 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.14 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ASML has a 52-week high of $1,110.09 and a 52-week low of $582.49.

How Is The Market Feeling About ASML Holding?

BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated the Buy rating on Lam Research (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LRCX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast to $92 from $88.</a>
Arya expresses confidence in Lam Research&#8217;s leverage to key tech trends, its strong exposure to a NAND recovery, and solid free cash flow generation.
However, the analyst notes that while China is expected to normalize to 30% of the mix in December, ongoing risks from export controls remain, and gains in gross and operating margins appear limited.
The analyst raises the earnings estimates for 2025 and 2026 by 4% and 7%, respectively.
The analyst writes that the company&#8217;s unique portfolio will help it outperform its competitors in 2025, despite concerns about ASML Holding N.V outlook.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41358875" rel="noreferrer noopener">ASML Stock Plunges Further On Lower 2025 Sales Outlook: Analysts Break Down Semiconductor Challenges</a>
Arya notes that recent high shipments of lithography tools to China might lead to a bigger correction there, but Lam Research is less affected by this due to its strengths in advanced technologies like NAND and packaging.
Overall, Lam Research has several growth opportunities in 2025, even with potential challenges in China and delays from Intel and Samsung.
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari reiterated the Buy rating on Lam Research, lowering the price forecast to $96 from $102.50).
The analyst highlights that advancements in NAND, leading-edge foundry/logic, and DRAM will increase demand for etching and deposition, helping Lam gain market share in wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) in 2025 and beyond.
The analyst notes that while ASML lowered its 2025 revenue guidance due to weak demand in leading-edge foundry and potential declines in Chinese spending, Lam Research maintained its forecast of a mid-$90 billion WFE market for 2024.
In fact, Lam Research expects WFE spending to grow in 2025, driven by changes in NAND technology and ongoing strength in DRAM, HBM, and leading-edge foundry sectors, the analyst adds.
Hari notes, Advanced Packaging, essential for AI technology, will boost Lam Research&#8217;s performance.
Additionally, in the Systems business, China&#8217;s share of total revenue decreased to 37% in the September quarter from 42% in the March quarter and 39% in the June quarter.
Per Hari, the market will perceive the guided decline in China contribution positively, given the tendency for the market to pay a below-average multiple for revenue streams generated in China.
According to Hari, the market is likely to view the expected decline in China&#8217;s contribution positively, as it typically assigns a &#8220;below-average&#8221; multiple to revenue generated in China.
Price Action: LRCX shares are trading higher by 4.87% to $76.41 at last check Thursday.

ASML Holding Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) CEO Christophe Fouquet anticipates growing pressure from the United States to tighten restrictions on semiconductor technology sales to China. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41444570/us-set-to-finalize-ai-investment-restrictions-in-china-report">what you need to know.</a>
The Details: Speaking at the <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-22/asml-chief-sees-us-pressure-building-for-more-china-restrictions?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg Tech Summit</a> in London on Tuesday, Fouquet stated that the geopolitical landscape suggests the U.S. will continue urging its allies for more stringent measures.
"If you look at the geopolitical landscape, it's clear that the U.S. will continue to apply pressure," Fouquet said.
For years, the U.S. has sought to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41323155/nvidia-amd-face-chip-export-curbs-as-biden-administration-considers-restrictions-on-middle-east-coun">limit China&#8217;s semiconductor advancements</a> through export controls targeting AI chips and chipmaking equipment. The Dutch government faces the challenge of managing its alliances and its commercial ties with China, given that China represents ASML&#8217;s largest market.
"A lot of the focus in China today is on mainstream semiconductors, which is very different from AI," Fouquet said.

Hundreds Of Engineers Reportedly Apply For 3 Jobs At Rival SK Hynix As World&#8217;s Largest Smartphone Maker&#8217;s Chip Troubles Mount</a>
The ASML CEO noted that much of the company&#8217;s business in China is focused on more mature chips that are not as relevant to national security concerns, rather than the advanced AI-related semiconductors that are at the heart of U.S. concerns.
ASML, which reportedly holds a monopoly on lithography machines for chipmakers, has never offered its most advanced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines to China. These machines are essential for producing cutting-edge semiconductors, but have been off-limits to China due to export restrictions.
The report indicates that China relies on ASML systems to accelerate development of chips as the country has been able to develop its own similar technology. Chinese demand for ASML chips have been elevated since the pandemic, but ASML expects China sales to return to more normal levels around 20% of total revenue next year. 
Fouquet reportedly said at the tech summit that existing restrictions on exports have already put China 10 to 15 years behind in terms of advanced technology. The potential for further U.S. restrictions on semiconductor technology could continue to impact ASML's operations. Still, Fouquet expects the chip market to continue recovering in 2025 with 2026 forecasted to be a &#8220;growth year&#8221; for the company.
ASML Price Action: ASML Holdings shares were up 0.83% at $720.28 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

<h3>About ASML Holding</h3>
ASML is the leader in photolithography systems used in the manufacturing of 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.

NIO, ASML, And CVS Health Are Among Top 10 Large Cap Losers Last Week (Oct 14-18): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Many investors still hold high regard for the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/computer-and-technology/">technology sector</a> in the United States today, which makes sense as the services PMI index is carrying most&mdash;if not all&mdash;of the economic growth left in the country, compared to the 23-month contraction in the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/manufacturing/">manufacturing sector</a>, as seen in that PMI index. However, not all technology sectors are equal.
The <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/compare-stocks/semiconductor-stocks/">semiconductor and chipmaking</a> niche of the sector receives special attention, which has been present all of 2024 and extrapolated since the shortages seen since the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent quarters, all the pressure seems to have been placed on shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsm#NYSE">TSM</a>), the global leader in chip sales with major customers all over the sector.
However, investors might have been concerned after seeing NVIDIA Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvidia#NASDAQ">NVIDIA</a>) sell-off after its last quarter, which announced a state of &quot;<a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/business/nvidias-ceo-jensen-huang-says-new-chip-will-have-lots-and-lots-of-supply-101725536426366.html">lots and lots of supply</a>,&quot; according to its CEO, which would ultimately hurt margins and earnings per share (EPS). More recently, ASML Holding (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/asml#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) stock sold off by over 17% in a single day after <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/asmls-earnings-miss-opens-door-for-savvy-investors/">missing booking guidance</a>.
<h3>Taiwan Semiconductor Stock Soars 12%: Strong Earnings and Growing Demand Fuel Rally</h3>
To ease some of the ASML and NVIDIA concerns, Taiwan Semiconductor stock rallied by over 12% in a single day following the blowout earnings results posted. This may have caused a surprise figure to outperform some of its peers during the quarter.
Investors <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/taiwan-semiconductor-stock-buy-now-or-wait-for-earnings/">would have been ready</a> for this rally by looking at a few metrics beforehand. Some of these metrics include the monthly revenue growth rate and the fact that markets were willing to pay a premium valuation only to get exposure to the company&#39;s future earnings, which is often a bullish sign.
Building on these views&nbsp;that investors enjoyed the rally, here&#39;s what investors can now keep in mind moving forward and decide whether there is still further upside left in Taiwan Semiconductor stock. To start with revenue, the&nbsp;<a href="https://pr.tsmc.com/english/news/3180" rel="noopener" target="_blank">company&#39;s earnings press release</a> shows a jump of 39% over the past 12 months.
Then, investors can lean on the fact that the company&#39;s net income jumped by 54% during the quarter to significantly boost potential valuation targets from Wall Street analysts. But that&#39;s all in the past; in order to accurately predict the stock&#39;s value, investors need to look into the future.
Easing some of the fears of demand from the industry, the company&#39;s CEO said, &quot;Demand is real, and I believe it&#39;s just the beginning,&quot; speaking of other peers in the space like NVIDIA. These words were quantified further after the statement, though management guidance to blow most expectations out of proportion.
Revenue projections, even after a 54% jump over the past quarter, are still expected to outpace current guidance projections. For the next quarter, Taiwan Semiconductor management expects to deliver up to $26.9 billion in revenues compared to the estimate of $24.9 billion.
Not only is revenue expected to rise by another double-digit rate, but here&#39;s where valuations can be boosted in the coming months. Gross margins are guided to land nearer to 57% against the former consensus of 54.7%, which speaks to the state of pricing power present in the industry as demand outpaces supply to help costs and prices.
<h3>Wall Street Weighs In On Taiwan Semiconductor Stock: What Investors Can Expect Next</h3>
Recently, analysts at Needham &amp; Co. decided to reiterate their &quot;Buy&quot; rating on Taiwan Semiconductor stock on the day of earnings. Still, their valuations seem a bit out of touch. They see the stock going to $210, which is still roughly a dollar lower than where it rallied.
More significant is the previous price target set by those at Susquehanna in August 2024. Those analysts saw a &quot;Positive&quot; rating for the stock, this time boosting their targets and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/TSM/forecast/">valuation up to $250 a share</a> to call for a further 18.5% upside from where the stock trades today.
Realizing that the demand trends might favor more profitability and margins in the industry, bearish traders decided to step away from the market during the past quarter. Taiwan Semiconductor stock&#39;s short interest has declined from $5.6 billion at the peak of last quarter <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/TSM/short-interest/">to $4.5 billion today</a>.
As the stock rallies by double-digits this week, more short sellers might be forced to cover their positions and add additional buying pressure to a stock whose bullish momentum seems to just be getting started.

Taiwan Semiconductor Soars On Earnings With More Room To Run

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) continues to be Bank of America&#8217;s top stock pick within the artificial intelligence (AI) universe, with analyst Vivek Arya labeling the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41405124/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-stock-on-friday">as a &#8220;generational opportunity.&#8221; </a>
On Thursday, the investment bank raised its price target for the company from $165 to $190. This implies a 40% upside compared to current market prices, on the heels of Nvidia's &#8220;dominant market position in AI chips&#8221; and future AI-driven growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bank Of America Raises Earnings Estimates On Nvidia</h3>
Arya significantly boosted Nvidia&#8217;s earnings forecasts for 2025 and 2026 by 13% to 20%. He also highlighted the company&#8217;s &#8220;strong competitive lead&#8221; in the AI sector, controlling 80-85% of the market.
The analyst estimated that Nvidia could tap into a total addressable market (TAM) of over $400 billion by 2024. That&#8217;s four times larger than what was previously projected.
Several recent industry developments have also reinforced Bank of America's confidence in Nvidia&#8217;s long-term prospects. 
Among these are strong earnings from key suppliers like Taiwan Semiconductor Company Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NASDAQ">TSM</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)&#8217;s recent AI event, alongside meetings with tech giants like Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), and key players in optical technologies. 
Recent reports from TSMC confirm that demand for AI technologies is robust and will likely remain so for years to come.
According to Nvidia management, demand for the company's next-generation Blackwell chips is &#8220;insane,&#8221; further supporting the bullish outlook.
The report also highlights Nvidia's &#8220;extraordinary cash generation potential.&#8221; Arya predicts the company could generate over $200 billion in &#8220;free cash flow&#8221; (FCF) over the next two years, with margins of 45-50%—almost double the average of the so-called &#8220;Magnificent 7&#8221; tech stocks, which includes giants like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>). 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Undervalued Partnerships And Revenue Growth</h3>
Arya also indicate that Nvidia's growing enterprise partnerships with companies such as Accenture plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACN#NYSE">ACN</a>), ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>), and Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) are &#8220;undervalued by the market.&#8221; 
Beyond its hardware dominance, Nvidia&#8217;s software offerings, like its Networking Interface Modules (NIMs), are critical components in maintaining its leadership in AI infrastructure. These partnerships are expected to drive further expansion across multiple industries.
Despite NVIDIA's strong growth outlook and market dominance, Arya believes its &#8220;valuation remains attractive.&#8221; He calculates that NVIDIA's price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio for 2025 is just 0.6x, well below the average PEG ratio of 1.9x for the &#8220;Magnificent 7&#8221; stocks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Shares of Nvidia rose 0.84% on Friday to $138, just a hair&#8217;s breadth away from its record high of $140.89 set the previous day.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) slipped 0.1%, poised for a weekly decline of about 2.8%, following Wednesday&#8217;s selloff sparked by negative market reactions to ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)&#8217;s early earnings release.

AI Creates 'Generational Opportunity': Why Nvidia Analyst Says Stock Will Hit $190

ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) stock is moving higher on Friday. The stock might be rebounding after falling earlier this week on soft guidance which it issued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41358875/asml-stock-plunges-further-on-lower-2025-sales-outlook-analysts-break-down-semicond">on Tuesday</a>.
What To Know: The company&#8217;s guidance included 2024 fourth-quarter net sales outlook between €8.8 billion and €9.2 billion. In addition, the company expects a gross margin between 49% and 50%.
For the full 2024 fiscal year, ASML anticipates net sales of about €28 billion. In the 2025 fiscal year, ASML expects net sales from €30 billion to €35 billion and a gross margin between 51% and 53%.
CEO Christophe Fouquet said that its 2025 net sales guidance is in, &#8220;the lower half of the range that we provided at our 2022 Investor Day.&#8221; Fouquet attributed the gross margin, which is also below the previously expected range, to &#8220;delayed timing of EUV demand.&#8221;
How To Buy ASML Stock
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in ASML Holding (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)'s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
