ASML Holding (NASDAQ:ASML) Stock

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.

Shares of chip stocks are trading lower amid reports indicating the Trump administration is planning wider China tech restrictions.

ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) shares rose 1.05% to $754.35 on Thursday, gaining in sympathy with Nvidia Corp, which surged nearly 6% following blockbuster first-quarter results that exceeded Wall Street expectations. Nvidia's earnings fueled a broader semiconductor rally, lifting peer stocks like ASML.
What To Know: Nvidia <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45668727/nvidia-stock-is-surging-thursday-whats-fueling-the-move">reported</a> first-quarter revenue of $44.1 billion, a 69% year-over-year increase, beating consensus estimates of $43.2 billion. Adjusted earnings per share reached $0.96, excluding charges tied to U.S. export restrictions on sales to China. The company's data center segment led the charge with $39.1 billion in revenue, up 73%, fueled by explosive demand for AI infrastructure.
CEO Jensen Huang <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">emphasized</a> global AI expansion, noting that countries now view AI computing as critical infrastructure. Despite a projected $8 billion revenue hit from H20 chip restrictions, Nvidia guided second-quarter revenue at $45 billion, surpassing estimates.
Analysts responded bullishly, with Wedbush projecting a $4–5 trillion future market cap. The AI boom also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45671751/amd-stock-rises-on-nvidias-blowout-quarter-and-ai-momentum">strengthens expectations</a> for chip equipment suppliers like ASML, which manufactures advanced lithography machines critical to producing Nvidia's high-performance chips.
Investors see Nvidia's dominance as a bellwether for the sector, and ASML is poised to benefit as AI demand surges globally.

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&nbsp;<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 $578.51.

ASML Stock Climbs Amid Nvidia's Blowout Quarter: What's Going On?

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and peer chipmakers are still evaluating ASML Holding&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) advanced high numerical aperture (NA) machines for their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chip-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced technology nodes</a>.
ASML&#8217;s almost doubled-priced $400 million machines have yet to outweigh the speed and benefits of the most expensive piece of equipment in a chip fabrication plant, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Kevin Zhang of Taiwan Semiconductor had disapproved of the ASML machines for its&nbsp;A16 node, citing its price.

Meanwhile, it weighed employing its Low-NA EUV machines for its&nbsp;A16 node by harvesting the scaling benefit.
Intel&nbsp;Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) looks to leverage the High-NA EUV machine in its future manufacturing process, 14A, to revive&nbsp;its contract chip business and better compete with Taiwan Semiconductor. However, Intel said its customers could still employ older and more proven technologies.
ASML attributed a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45570606/asml-bets-big-on-high-powered-chip-tools-as-taiwan-semiconductor-intel-micron-line-up" rel="noreferrer noopener">decade-long investment</a> in developing a high numerical aperture behind its most advanced and expensive&nbsp;chipmaking machine.
The chip equipment maker manufactured its high NA machines in Connecticut, California, Germany, and the Netherlands.
It then assembled them in a lab in Veldhoven, Netherlands, for testing and approval before disassembling them again for shipment.
ASML has ramped up production to serve&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor,&nbsp;Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>), and Intel.&nbsp;
It also targets Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>),&nbsp;SK Hynix, and&nbsp;Rapidus.
Price Actions: ASML stock traded lower by 0.71% to $751.44 at the last check Wednesday. TSM is down 0.18%.

Taiwan Semiconductor And Intel Weigh Benefits Of ASML's Pricey Chipmaking Equipment

Dutch semiconductor giant, ASML Holding&nbsp;N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) has lost over $130 billion in market value within a year, largely due to&nbsp;export restrictions to China and&nbsp;uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs.
What Happened: The company&#8217;s market capitalization, as per data from S&amp;P Capital IQ, has tumbled from $429.5 billion&nbsp;at its peak in July to a little below $297 billion. The semiconductor industry has faced increased volatility amid stricter U.S. chip export restrictions to China and the threat of new tariffs by President Donald Trump. Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) supplier, ASML, a key player in the global semiconductor supply chain, has been particularly affected, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/28/asml-shares-china-and-tariffs-have-wiped-off-130-billion-of-value.html?ref=biztoc.com">reported </a>CNBC. 
ASML, the exclusive manufacturer of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, has not been able to deliver its most advanced equipment to China, further impacting its sales.
&#8220;All the equipment manufacturers in&nbsp;the space have come down&nbsp;because they are concentrating all&nbsp;the fears around … the&nbsp;U.S. restrictions to China,&#8221; commented&nbsp;Stephane Houri, ODDO BHF&#8216;s head of equity&nbsp;research.
Despite the challenges, analysts remain optimistic about ASML&#8217;s prospects, setting a target price above 779 euros—suggesting a potential 17% gain from Tuesday&#8217;s closing level.

Why It Matters: ASML has been making significant investments in developing high-powered chip tools, such as the high numerical aperture (High NA) machines, for over a decade. The company&#8217;s high NA machines have been a key focus, with a price tag of over $400 million each. These machines are vital for the production of the most advanced chips, and ASML has been unable to sell them to China, which has further impacted the company&#8217;s potential sales.
Earlier in April, ASML&#8217;s shares took a hit after the company&#8217;s CFO,&nbsp;Roger Dassen, highlighted the potential impact of tariffs on the company&#8217;s performance in 2025 during an analyst call. In January, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet told CNBC that he anticipates the company&#8217;s share of business in China will be lower in 2025 compared to 2023 and 2024 amid export restrictions.
Despite these challenges, ASML remains positive about its growth opportunities in 2025 and 2026, with companies like&nbsp;Samsung&nbsp;and&nbsp;Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)&nbsp;investing in next-generation chipmaking tools.
On a year-to-date basis, ASML stock climbed 8.05% to close at $756.79 on Tuesday. Over a year, it plunged 23.7%

Nvidia Supplier ASML Loses Over $130 Billion In Market Cap Amid China Export Curbs, Trump Tariff Uncertainty

Shares of semiconductor companies are trading higher, possibly amid overall market strength after President Trump delayed 50% EU tariffs to July. Additionally, the sector may be up in anticipation of NVIDIA's upcoming Q1 report.

European stock markets rallied Tuesday after officials in Brussels agreed to speed up tariff negotiations with Washington, a move that investors hope will head off a trans-Atlantic trade war and remove a major overhang for global risk assets.
The breakthrough followed U.S. President Donald Trump's weekend decision to postpone a threatened 50% levy on all European Union imports until 9 July. With the immediate tariff deadline pushed back, U.S. equities opened sharply higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added about 600 points, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose more than 2%.&nbsp;
Euro-area blue-chips tracked the move, and pan-European exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw some of their heaviest buying in weeks.

</ul>
Investor appetite was also buoyed by a surprise rebound in U.S. consumer confidence and a broad rally in sovereign bonds that pushed the 30-year Treasury yield below 5%. The euro edged to a one-month high near $1.14, underlining renewed demand for European assets as trade tensions eased.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Fast-Tracking Matters for Markets</h2>
The EU's decision to accelerate negotiations narrows the window for tariff escalation and gives multinationals on both sides of the Atlantic greater clarity on supply-chain planning. Strategists at several banks said the shift could help unlock pent-up capital flows into European equities, which have lagged U.S. benchmarks this year despite attractive valuations and stabilising economic data.
With global manufacturers still digesting China-linked slowdowns, an end to the EU-U.S. tariff standoff would remove a second major source of uncertainty. Semiconductor bellwether Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) anticipated earnings report on Wednesday may reinforce the global risk-on tone if guidance proves resilient.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Routes to European Exposure</h2>
For U.S. investors looking to position ahead of a potential trade agreement, here are a range of vehicles that balance simplicity, liquidity and sector choice.
Broad-based Europe ETFs. Low-cost funds such as the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGK#NYSE">VGK</a>) or the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZU#BATS">EZU</a>) provide one-ticket exposure to large-cap names across the continent, from French luxury houses to German industrials. Both funds saw above-average volumes on Tuesday.
Sector and thematic funds. Should tariff relief materialize, cyclical areas tied to cross-border demand could benefit most. The SPDR MSCI Europe Industrials ETF and the Global X MSCI SuperDividend EAFE ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EFAS#NYSE">EFAS</a>) offer targeted plays on industrial exporters and high-dividend stalwarts, respectively.
Individual ADRs and direct listings. Investors comfortable with single-stock risk may consider American depositary receipts of companies like Siemens AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIEGY#OTC">SIEGY</a>) or semiconductor equipment maker ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>).&nbsp;
Many discount brokers now route orders directly to Xetra, Euronext or Borsa Italiana, allowing dollar-based accounts to trade in euros and settle in local time.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mind the Currency and Policy Calendar</h2>
A stronger euro can add a second return driver—but also a layer of volatility—when U.S.-based portfolios own unhedged European assets. Currency-hedged ETF share classes are available for investors who prefer to neutralize foreign-exchange swings, albeit at the cost of slightly higher fees.
Traders will also be watching Friday's U.S. core PCE inflation release and a series of speeches from Federal Reserve officials for clues on monetary policy direction. Any hint of slower U.S. growth could amplify relative enthusiasm for Europe, where fiscal spending and structural reforms are expected to underpin domestic demand.
Fast-tracked EU-U.S. negotiations have injected fresh momentum into European markets that were battered by tariff headlines earlier this month. While geopolitical risk remains, the prospect of a negotiated settlement—combined with attractive valuations and a weaker U.S. dollar—makes a diversified allocation to Europe an increasingly compelling complement to a U.S.-centric portfolio.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning ASML Holding Stock In The Last 15 Years

President Donald Trump&#8217;s threat to impose a sweeping 50% tariff on all European Union imports starting June 1 sparked a broad selloff across European markets Friday, triggering fears of a transatlantic trade war just as global <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">growth faces renewed pressure.</a>
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the EU&#8217;s "powerful Trade Barriers, VAT Taxes, ridiculous Corporate Penalties, Non-Monetary Trade Barriers, Monetary Manipulations, unfair and unjustified lawsuits against American Companies" were to blame for an annual trade deficit exceeding $250 billion, which he called "totally unacceptable."
The proposed tariff would exempt goods manufactured in the United States, potentially creating sharp distortions for EU-based exporters and global supply chains.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">European Benchmarks Tumble</h3>
The fallout was immediate in markets. The Euro STOXX 50 index – as closely tracked by the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZU#NYSE">EZU</a>) – dropped 3%, Italy's FTSE MIB sank 2.9%, France's CAC 40 lost 2.6% and Spain's IBEX 35 fell 2.2%. 
Germany's DAX, as tracked by the iShares MSCI Germany Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWG#NYSE">EWG</a>), which is home to many export-heavy firms, slid 2.3%.
Financial stocks bore the brunt of the decline, with Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>) falling 6.1%, Société Générale SA (OTCPK: SCGLY) down 5.3% and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBVA#NYSE">BBVA</a>) sliding 5%.
 Industrial and luxury exporters also came under heavy pressure, including Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (OTCPK: BMWYY), or BMW (−4.5%), UniCredit SpA (OTCPK: UNCRY) (−4.5%) and EssilorLuxottica SA (OTCPK: ESLOY) (−4.2%).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Export Exposure To US Trade Is Key</h3>
The tariff threat has placed a spotlight on European companies heavily reliant on U.S. revenues.
In Germany, Adidas AG (OTCPK: ADDYY) derives roughly a third of its revenue from the United States, while SAP SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>) generates about 40% of its turnover from North America. 
Chipmaker Infineon Technologies AG (OTCPK: IFNNY) is also significantly exposed due to its automotive and electronics customers.
French luxury and tech firms are equally at risk. LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (OTCPK: LVMUY) earns close to 25% of its revenue in the U.S., while Dassault Systèmes SE (OTCPK: DASTY) has a strong footprint in North American enterprise software. Hermès International SA (OTCPK: HESAY) pulls about 20-25% of its sales from the American market.
Italian brands like Ferrari NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>), with over 30% of sales from the U.S., and EssilorLuxottica SA (OTCPK: ESLOY), which owns Oakley and Ray-Ban, are also vulnerable. 
In the Netherlands, tech heavyweight ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) earns about 20-25% of revenue from the U.S., and Koninklijke Philips NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHG#NYSE">PHG</a>) maintains a major healthcare business across North America.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">EU Retaliation Risk Grows For US Stocks</h3>
For U.S. corporations with heavy exposure to Europe—particularly in tech, autos, agriculture and aviation—the economic consequences could be significant if the European Union responds in kind.
The 2018 EU countermeasures to Trump&#8217;s steel tariffs included duties on motorcycles, bourbon and orange juice—strategic hits on U.S. swing-state exports.
EU officials may also revisit tech taxation disputes, where U.S. firms like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) are already under regulatory scrutiny.

Trump Tariff Threat Hits Europe: Stocks Sink As 50% Duties Loom

ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) attributed a decade-long investment in developing a high numerical aperture behind its most advanced and expensive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chip-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chipmaking machine that</a> commanded a price of over $400 million. 
The chip equipment maker manufactured its high NA machines in Connecticut, California, Germany and the Netherlands, then assembled them in the Veldhoven, Netherlands, lab for testing and approval before disassembling them again for shipment, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/22/exclusive-look-at-high-na-asmls-new-400-million-chipmaking-colossus.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Thursday.
Intel Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) Oregon chip fabrication plant became ASML&#8217;s first high NA machine customer in 2024. ASML has shipped only five of them.

ASML has ramped up production to serve Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), Samsung Electronics (SSNLF) and Intel. 
ASML told CNBC that High NA would also serve its EUV customers, such as Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), SK Hynix and Rapidus.
CEO Christophe Fouquet replied to CNBC that the company purposely kept the prices of its machines in check to drive the chipmaking costs down, as per Moore&#8217;s law, leading to more opportunities.
ASML is building its first U.S. training center in Arizona.
It plans to ship at least five more systems in 2025 and ramp up production capacity of 20 machines in a few years.
ASML stock lost nearly 7% year-to-date as it grappled with U.S. semiconductor sanctions and tariff policies on China and other countries.
CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221;&nbsp;Jim Cramer recommended buying&nbsp;Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) over ASML, citing ASML&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45466164/jim-cramer-prefers-autozone-over-rival-buy-the-one-thats-not-going-to-stock-split" rel="noreferrer noopener">weaker quarterly results</a>.

Jim Cramer Prefers AutoZone Over Rival: 'Buy The One That's Not Going To Stock Split'

ASML Holding's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NYSE">ASML</a>) short percent of float has risen 18.84% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.90 million shares sold short, which is 0.82% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for ASML Holding has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing ASML Holding's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, ASML Holding's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.17%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Shares of semiconductor and chip stocks are trading higher as investors assess US-China trade progress and Saudi Arabia deals.

Shares of chip stocks are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate some supply chain concerns and improve macro sentiment as well as demand visibility.
