ASML expanded High-NA cooperation with Intel Foundry, Samsung Electronics and TSMC on September 8, 2026, while ASML Holding stock sat 4.76 percent below its EUR 1,741.00 52-week high. ASML said the partnerships support the transition toward large-format photomasks and future High-NA EUV production.

High-NA moves toward production

The September announcements linked ASML with three major chipmaking partners. Intel Foundry is using High-NA EUV on its 18A process, while Samsung Electronics and TSMC are participating in initiatives aimed at scaling the technology.

The commercial backdrop is already visible in ASML's second-quarter 2026 results. The company reported EUR 9.33 billion in total net sales and EUR 2.92 billion in net income, while gross margin reached 54.00 percent, according to ASML on July 15, 2026.

Revenue growth raises the bar

Q2 2026 sales increased from EUR 7.69 billion in Q2 2025 to EUR 9.33 billion, while net income rose from EUR 2.29 billion to EUR 2.92 billion. The comparison shows profit growing faster than sales in the latest reported quarter, based on figures published by INDmoney.

Management raised full-year 2026 guidance to EUR 43 billion to EUR 45 billion in sales and a 54.00 percent to 56.00 percent gross margin. Third-quarter 2026 guidance calls for EUR 11 billion to EUR 12 billion in sales and a 55.00 percent to 57.00 percent gross margin.

UBS target stays above the quote

UBS maintained a Buy rating and a EUR 2,350.00 price target in a September 8, 2026 research note, as reported by MarketScreener. The target lies 41.73 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, keeping the analyst view materially above the current euro quote.

Results date sets the next test

ASML's next earnings release is scheduled for October 13, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The reported Q3 range gives investors a concrete benchmark for judging whether higher system demand and installed-base services are translating into sustained growth.
