UBS keeps its Buy rating

MarketBeat said UBS maintained its Buy view on ASML in a report issued on September 28, 2026. The same report listed 19 Buy ratings, five Hold ratings and three Sell ratings, producing a Moderate Buy consensus and an average target of USD 1,970.33.

The rating comes ahead of ASML's next scheduled report. MarketScreener lists the Q3 2026 earnings release for October 14, 2026, giving the market a defined checkpoint for orders, margins and management commentary.

Q2 sales rose 5.68 percent

ASML's latest reported quarter delivered EUR 9.3 billion in total net sales and EUR 2.9 billion in net income. The figures were published by ASML for the second quarter of 2026, compared with EUR 8.8 billion in sales and EUR 2.8 billion in net income for the first quarter of 2026 on the same release page.

That sales progression represents 5.68 percent growth from the first quarter, while net income increased 3.57 percent. ASML's financial data for the second quarter also show diluted earnings per share of EUR 7.58 and a gross profit margin of 54.00 percent, keeping profitability central to the October earnings test.

Stock stays below its yearly high

ASML stock was 7.94 percent below its EUR 1,741.00 52-week high and above its EUR 812.60 52-week low on October 1, 2026. The gap to the high leaves the upcoming results as the next measurable test of whether demand, product mix and margin execution can support the valuation reflected in the analyst targets.

ASML's primary listing is in Amsterdam, while the company also trades on Nasdaq. Its business centers on lithography, metrology and inspection systems used by chipmakers, including extreme ultraviolet technology.
