Debt-to-Equity Ratio

ASML’s debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13x means the company uses very little debt compared to its shareholders’ equity—a low figure that indicates a conservative capital structure with minimal financial leverage.

Against its technology sector peers, that ratio sits well below the sector median of 0.27x, placing ASML in the 35th percentile, meaning about two-thirds of peers carry more debt relative to equity. No year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter changes are available, and no trend data for the last eight quarters exist, so the metric’s direction cannot be assessed. The combination of a very low debt level with no visible trend points to low financial risk, but also offers no signal of recent improvement or deterioration. This low leverage supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict by confirming a stable, low-risk balance sheet, but it does not alone justify a more positive or negative stance.
