Deep Analysis

Gross margin is the percentage of revenue a company keeps after paying the direct costs of producing its goods—here, 53.0% means ASML retains $0.53 for every dollar of sales.

That figure sits well below the Technology sector median of 62.2%, placing ASML in the 39th percentile among its peers, meaning about 61% of comparable companies have higher gross margins. Both the year-over-year change and quarter-over-quarter change are listed as N/A, and no historical trend is available for the last eight quarters, so this metric offers no directional insight on its own. The combination of a below-median level with no trend data suggests neither a clear competitive advantage nor a deteriorating position, which reduces the signal for a decisive bullish or bearish case. This neutral-to-weak comparison aligns with the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the gross margin does not contradict the assessment but also does not provide a strong positive catalyst. Investors should weigh this margin gap against ASML’s other strengths, such as market dominance in lithography equipment, rather than relying on this single metric.
