About the company

ASML Holding is a Dutch supplier of lithography systems, which print circuit patterns onto silicon wafers. It is the only manufacturer of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tools, required for the most advanced chips, including its newer High-NA EUV systems. It also sells deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion and dry systems, as well as metrology and inspection products. A large share of revenue comes from installed base management: service, upgrades and refurbishment of systems already in the field. Its customers are logic and memory chipmakers worldwide, and a small number of leading manufacturers account for most of its sales.

Business model and industry role

EUV lithography

NXE (0.33 NA) and the newer EXE High-NA systems that use 13.5 nm light to print the finest layers of leading-edge chips.

DUV lithography

ArF immersion, ArF dry, KrF and i-line systems for less critical layers and mature chips.

Metrology and inspection

Tools that measure and inspect patterns to improve yield.

Installed Base Management

Service contracts, upgrades and field options for machines already in customer fabs.

Who buys it

Logic chipmakers and memory makers. In 2025 four customers each exceeded 10% of total net sales, together 61.2% 1.

How it earns revenue

Net system sales (new and used machines) were €24.5bn and Installed Base Management €8.2bn in 2025 1. Silicon Analytica view: because system revenue follows shipments, quarterly sales can swing with delivery timing.

What it depends on

A network of about 5,100 suppliers; projection optics are developed with strategic partner Carl Zeiss SMT 1. Export licences from the Dutch government and EU rules restrict sales of advanced systems to some destinations 1.

What drives profitabilityIncludes Silicon Analytica view

Gross margin rose to 52.8% in 2025, which ASML attributes to a favourable EUV product mix and higher service sales 1. In our view the mix between EUV and DUV, and High-NA cost-down progress, are the main margin levers.

Competitive position, drivers and risks

Competitive position

In DUV lithography ASML competes with Nikon and Canon; in EUV it has no commercial competitor 1. Silicon Analytica view: in metrology and inspection, KLA and Applied Materials are the main rivals.

Evidence

Reported: ASML states it is currently the only manufacturer of EUV lithography systems 1. EUV systems were 47% of 2025 system sales (calculated).

Growth drivers and conditions

Company view: more critical lithography exposures for advanced logic and DRAM, driven by AI demand 4. Conditions: customers must keep adding leading-edge capacity and adopt High-NA EUV in volume.

Cyclicality and downside risks

Reported: export controls limiting sales to China; customer concentration 1. Our view: orders follow chipmakers' capital-spending cycles, so revenue can fall sharply in downturns even when long-term demand is intact.

What to watch next

  1. EUV system sales and High-NA shipments
  2. Installed Base Management growth
  3. China share of system sales
  4. Gross margin versus the ~57% Q4 guidance
  5. Any resumption of bookings disclosure

Suggested peers: Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA, Tokyo Electron

Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA and Tokyo Electron sell different process steps (deposition, etch, inspection); none sells EUV lithography, so growth and margin comparisons reflect product mix as much as execution. Financials compares latest reported periods and labels mismatched period ends.

Annual and quarterly figures come from the company's SEC filings (XBRL financial data and, where needed, the filed statements). Each value keeps its filing, period dates and accounting basis. Ratios, growth rates, free cash flow, split-adjusted EPS and derived quarters are Silicon Analytica calculations, shown with their inputs. Percentage growth is not shown when the prior value is zero or negative. US$ equivalents use period-average Federal Reserve H.10 rates.
