On July 13, ASML fell 3.21% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $1,772.31/share, with turnover of $5.88 million. The decline came amid a broad selloff across semiconductor equipment stocks and intensifying profit-taking sentiment ahead of the company's Q2 earnings release scheduled for July 15.
The semiconductor equipment sector experienced synchronized weakness, with Applied Materials down 3.83%, Lam Research down 3.87%, and KLA down 4.06%, reflecting sector-wide risk-off positioning. ASML has now accumulated a decline exceeding 11% since the start of July. Market participants remain divided on EUV equipment delivery pace and full-year guidance, fueling pre-earnings uncertainty that has amplified selling pressure despite multiple investment banks — including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and Bernstein — recently raising target prices on the stock.
Consensus estimates project Q2 revenue of approximately EUR 8.95 billion, up 16.34% year-over-year, with adjusted EPS expected at EUR 6.95, representing 31.23% growth. JPMorgan has emphasized that the Q2 print itself may be less critical than the 2027 outlook for driving a re-rating.
