ASML Hits High End of Guidance, Stock Falls on Booking Decline and Growth Warning

ASML shares plunged 7% after its Q2 2025 earnings release. Here are the year-over-year figures:

— Total net sales: up 23.2% to €7.7 billion

— Net profit: up 45.1% to €2.3 billion

— Gross margin: 53.7% (an increase of 220 basis points)

— Net bookings: down 0.5% to €5.5 billion

— New lithography system sales: down 24.7% to 67 units

Despite ongoing strong AI investment, both revenue and profit reached the high end of guidance. ASML maintained its full-year 2025 forecast of ~15% sales growth and ~52% gross margin.

However, the company warned that growth may not continue into 2026. Its stock dropped 7% in after-hours trading and has significantly underperformed the SOX index over the past year.

      Results were conservatively projected and will significantly outperformed expectations. This creates opportunity for employees to acquire shares at a lower valuation and benefit from substantial upside upon next earnings.
