BofA raises target for ASML Holding stock to EUR 2,557
Published on 10/06/2026 at 14:35 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
ASML Holding stock is the subject of a BofA Securities target increase to EUR 2,557 from EUR 2,452, according to Investing.com on October 6, 2026. The Buy rating was maintained, putting the analyst revision alongside ASML's next scheduled results on October 14, 2026.
BofA lifts estimates for 2028
BofA also raised its calendar-year 2028 revenue estimate to EUR 76.5 billion from EUR 70.4 billion, an 8.70 percent increase, according to Investing.com. Its earnings-per-share estimate for that period rose to EUR 85.20 from EUR 75.40, a 13.00 percent increase.
The revised target is EUR 893.00 above the Lang & Schwarz price and implies a 53.66 percent premium to EUR 1,664.00. That comparison matters because the target change is tied to higher long-term estimates, while the current market price still reflects the risk that semiconductor demand, China exposure and input costs affect execution.
Q2 results set the operating baseline
ASML reported EUR 9.33 billion in total net sales and EUR 2.92 billion in net income for the second quarter of 2026, according to its official press release. The company also reported a 54.00 percent gross margin and raised its 2026 outlook to EUR 43 billion to EUR 45 billion in sales, with a 54.00 percent to 56.00 percent gross margin.
For the third quarter of 2026, ASML expects total net sales between EUR 11 billion and EUR 12 billion. The company reported EUR 8.77 billion in first-quarter 2026 sales, so the second-quarter figure was EUR 559.60 million higher on a sequential basis.
Results date sets the next test
ASML's investor calendar lists October 14, 2026 for third-quarter 2026 results, followed by fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results on January 27, 2027, on its investor relations page. The upcoming report will show whether the EUR 11 billion to EUR 12 billion quarterly sales outlook is translating into reported growth.
