ASML Holding stock advances on its latest reported margins

ASML Holding (NL0010273215) stock stays anchored by its latest reported numbers: revenue of €7.69 billion in Q2 2026, gross margin of 53.7%, and net income of €2.29 billion. The company also reported net bookings of €5.54 billion, including €2.3 billion in EUV bookings, in the same quarter.

Q2 2026 metrics set the tone

Those figures matter because the quarter also showed a marked step in free cash flow: €0.54 billion in Q2 2026 versus €0.89 billion a year earlier, while diluted EPS reached €5.90. Gross margin was 53.7% in Q2 2026, up from 51.0% in Q1 2026, giving investors a concrete comparison inside the latest report cycle.

The order mix is the other key line. Net bookings of €5.54 billion in Q2 2026 contrasted with the company’s €7.69 billion revenue base, which shows how demand visibility and delivery timing can diverge in one quarter.

Bookings versus delivery

ASML’s latest report also put the business context in one place: EUV bookings were €2.3 billion in Q2 2026, and total bookings remained a headline metric because advanced lithography demand is still the core of the investment case. For a market that prices semiconductor equipment on cycle expectations, the spread between bookings and revenue is often more important than the top line alone.

That makes the margin trend especially relevant. A 53.7% gross margin in Q2 2026 versus 51.0% in Q1 2026 shows that profitability held up even as cash generation moved lower quarter on quarter.

Revenue at €7.69 billion

Revenue of €7.69 billion in Q2 2026 remains the simplest anchor for the stock because it came with €2.29 billion in net income and €5.90 in diluted EPS in the same quarter. Compared with the €7.69 billion top line, the €2.29 billion profit line shows how much the company still converts advanced-tool demand into earnings.

For market readers, the operating picture is clearer when the period is named precisely. The combination of €7.69 billion revenue, €53.7% gross margin, and €5.54 billion bookings is the central trio from the latest report.

Product line still matters

ASML’s product mix is still dominated by EUV systems, and the Q2 2026 booking figure of €2.3 billion for EUV keeps that line at the center of the investment narrative. That number matters because EUV remains the company’s most strategic product family and the clearest bridge between customer capex and future revenue.

The latest quarter therefore reads less like a general semiconductor update and more like a demand-and-margin scorecard for one specific industrial franchise. Revenue, bookings, and gross margin are the three numbers that frame the current debate.

Market value and venue

ASML Holding stock trades on Euronext Amsterdam, and the latest market view should be read alongside its report data rather than in isolation. The company’s Q2 2026 results give the most recent dated framework for valuation, with €7.69 billion revenue, €2.29 billion net income, and €5.54 billion bookings all tied to the same reporting period.

The stock paragraph is therefore simple: the business case rests on the latest quarter, not on a slogan. For investors following ASML Holding, the key reference points are the Q2 2026 revenue of €7.69 billion, the 53.7% gross margin, and the €5.54 billion in net bookings.
