ASML Holding N.V. completed a share‑repurchase program during the week of November 17‑21, 2025, buying back 207,515 shares at weighted‑average prices of €875.57, €868.11, €873.50, €905.16, and €837.81 on the five trading days, respectively. The combined value of the repurchases was €180,849,177, a figure that corrects the earlier misstatement of €36,170,042, which represented the daily repurchase value rather than the aggregate.
The repurchases are part of ASML’s €12 billion share‑buyback program, announced in November 2022 and scheduled to run through December 31, 2025. The program is a key element of the company’s capital‑return strategy, allowing ASML to return excess cash to shareholders while preserving a robust balance sheet and maintaining flexibility for future investment in high‑NA EUV technology.
ASML’s Q3 2025 results underpin the confidence that drives the buyback. The company reported net sales of €7.5 billion and a net income of €2.1 billion, with a gross margin of 51.6%. Full‑year guidance projects net sales between €30 billion and €35 billion and a gross margin of 51‑53%, reflecting continued demand for advanced lithography systems driven by the AI and data‑center markets.
Management highlighted the strategic importance of the program. CEO Christophe Fouquet noted that the company’s strong financial position and the growing demand for EUV technology—particularly the upcoming high‑NA EUV systems—provide a solid foundation for returning capital to shareholders. The buyback signals confidence in ASML’s long‑term growth prospects and its ability to sustain investment in next‑generation lithography.
The repurchase activity is a routine but material event that reinforces ASML’s commitment to shareholder value. It does not alter the company’s operational trajectory but confirms the management’s confidence in the business model and the continued strength of the semiconductor ecosystem driven by AI and high‑performance computing.
