Quick Ratio

With a quick ratio of 0.70x, ASML holds only €0.70 in cash and near-cash assets for every €1.00 of current liabilities, meaning the company may struggle to cover upcoming obligations without selling inventory or raising new funds.

This is well below the sector median of 1.61x, placing ASML in the 12th percentile among technology peers — a sign that its liquidity is far weaker than most competitors. The year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and trend over the last eight quarters are all marked as N/A, so there is no data to assess whether the ratio is improving or deteriorating. Without a trend, the current low level alone points to elevated short-term liquidity risk, but the absence of directional information makes it impossible to gauge if that risk is increasing or easing. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict because a quick ratio far below the sector median typically signals a negative factor; however, without trend data, the risk remains uncertain enough to keep the rating unchanged.
