ASML ASML
What matters nowUpdated 19 h ago
- ASML reported record third-quarter 2026 net sales of €11.7 billion (Q2: €9.3 billion), net income of about €5.0 billion and a 57.5% gross margin. Installed Base Management sales of €3.3 billion came in above guidance.
- Guidance: fourth-quarter net sales of €14.2-15.2 billion and full-year 2026 sales of €44-45 billion with gross margin around 56%. ASML said planned supply for 2027 and 2028 may not cover customer demand, and it no longer reports quarterly order bookings.
- Capital return: about €4.1 billion of shares were repurchased in Q3 and the interim dividend is €1.88 per share, payable November 4.
- China remains the overhang. On October 5 a German financial news site reported, citing media reports, that Chinese chipmakers had stockpiled hundreds of ASML immersion DUV systems worth several billion dollars; no new export rule was named.
- Next up: Q4 and full-year 2026 results with the 2027 outlook on January 27, 2027 (confirmed). Watch for any export-control change on DUV immersion tools and customer capex commentary from TSMC, which guided capital spending of US$60-64 billion this year.
