Juergen Wagner has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing ASML Holding NV’s current financial outlook. The company’s Q1 order intake was notably lower than expected, with figures falling short of the Visible Alpha consensus. This shortfall in orders, particularly in the Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) segment, has created some concern about the company’s near-term growth prospects.
Furthermore, ASML’s guidance for Q2 indicates a softer performance, with expected sales and gross margins missing consensus estimates. While the company has confirmed its 2025 guidance, the potential impact of tariffs adds an element of uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the consensus earnings per share estimates for 2025 remain largely unchanged, suggesting that the market is cautiously optimistic about future growth. These mixed signals have led Wagner to maintain a Hold rating, reflecting a balanced view of the risks and opportunities facing ASML.
