ASML surged 2.6% to €605.40 after the Dutch supplier to the semiconductor industry reported first quarter 2025 results.
Net sales edged up to €7.74 billion from €5.29 billion, net income jumped to €2.35 billion from €1.22 billion, and diluted earnings per share rose to €6.00 from €3.11 a year ago.
The company guided 2025 net sales to be between €30 billion and €35 billion, compared to €28.26 billion in 2024, with a gross margin between 51% and 53%, compared to 51.3% a year earlier.
However, first-quarter order bookings of €3.94 billion fell short of analysts' expectations amid tariff uncertainties.
The company estimated second-quarter net sales between €7.2 billion and €7.7 billion, compared to €6.2 billion a year ago, with a gross margin between 50% and 53%, compared to 51.5% in the second quarter of 2024.
In the first quarter, ASML purchased around €2.7 billion worth of shares under the current 2022-2025 share buyback program.
The company proposed a dividend for the year of €6.40 per share, a 4.9% increase compared to 2023.
Recognizing the three interim dividends of €1.52 per share paid in 2024 and 2025, the final dividend amounts to €1.84 per share.
