What the numbers say

CleaRank Financial AI's reading of ASML's valuation, growth and risks.

Valuation

ASML Holding N.V. NY Registered Shares (ASML) trades at 40.39 times trailing earnings, a multiple that is 15.1% above the Technology sector median of 35.1. The peer comparison on this page calls that P/E broadly in line with peers. Measured against sales, the P/S of 15.97 is 110.1% above the sector median P/S of 7.6. In terms of size, ASML has a market value of $630.5B.

In the latest year revenue grew 55.20%, 31.0 percentage points faster than the sector median of 24.2%. ASML turns sales into profit at a net margin of 34.14% and an operating margin of 44.36%, alongside a return on equity of 65.64%, above the sector median of 13.4%. Debt-to-equity of 0.09 and a trailing dividend yield of 0.55% ($9.09 a share a year) round out the fundamentals.

Earnings & Growth

ASML's October 14, 2026 report topped forecasts by 9.85%, with $11.82 per share reported against an estimate of $10.76. Investors responded positively, and the stock climbed 0.45% in the next session.

Analysts' average EPS estimate for this fiscal year is $38.35, which would be growth of 55.2%, and $51.92 for next year (growth of 35.4%).

Key risks

  2. The 14-day RSI reads 37.7, in the bearish zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
  3. After the October 14, 2026 report the share price rose 0.45% in the first session; ASML beat estimates in 5 of the last 5 reports.
Market outlook

The trend is mixed: ASML is above its 200-day average at $1,577.22 but below its 50-day average at $1,739.63. A close above the 50-day would turn both signals up, and a close below the 200-day would turn both down. In the meantime the price sits between the 200-day SMA ($1,577.22) underneath and the 20-day EMA ($1,734.73) overhead.

The RSI sits in the bearish band, which leans against a quick recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ASML Holding N.V. NY Registered Shares (ASML) a buy right now?
