Revenue rose in the second quarter

ASML reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of EUR 9.33 billion, up 21.00 percent from the second quarter of 2025. Net income reached EUR 2.92 billion, up 27.00 percent year over year, while the profit margin increased to 31.00 percent from 30.00 percent, according to Simply Wall St.

The company had set third-quarter 2026 sales guidance at EUR 11.00 billion to EUR 12.00 billion. Full-year 2026 sales guidance stood at EUR 43.00 billion to EUR 45.00 billion, giving the October results a clear test against both the latest operating trend and the raised analyst expectations.

Three dated signals shape the setup

On July 16, 2026, ASML reported EUR 9.33 billion of second-quarter revenue and raised its full-year sales outlook to EUR 43.00 billion to EUR 45.00 billion, according to Simply Wall St. On October 5, 2026, ASML disclosed buyback transactions covering 230,000 shares repurchased between September 28 and October 2 for EUR 343.99 million, including 60,000 shares at an average EUR 1,602.84 on October 1, as ASML reported. The latest signal was BofA's October 6 target increase to EUR 2,557.

What does the target reset mean?

The EUR 2,557 target lies 58.70 percent above the EUR 1,611.50 Lang & Schwarz price. BofA lifted its calendar-year 2028 revenue estimate to EUR 76.50 billion from EUR 70.40 billion, an 8.70 percent increase, while its earnings-per-share estimate rose to EUR 85.20 from EUR 75.40, a 13.00 percent increase, according to Investing.com. That combination makes the October revenue range and future demand commentary more important than the target alone.

Results dates are approaching

ASML's investor calendar lists October 14, 2026 for third-quarter 2026 results and January 27, 2027 for fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results, according to the ASML investor page. For investors, the immediate reference point is whether quarterly sales can approach the upper end of the EUR 11.00 billion to EUR 12.00 billion guidance range.
