Next earnings: 2027-01-27. ASML earnings date, time and past reactions.
Report of 2026-11-02, updated 2026-11-05.
Since the November 2 report ASML has slipped to $1,385.18, down 7.43% on the day and 17.34% over the past five days, while the broader market fell 3.44% (SPY) and the semiconductor sector plunged 73.82% (SOXX), underscoring the stock‑specific weakness amid a sector rout.
The picture holds: the price remains below the 1400 round resistance and above the 1350 breakout level, so the downside math (stop at 1,416.84, target 966.57) is still intact. The 1400 round level continues to act as a seller’s hub, and the 1,350 round support still defines the breakout trigger. What would change the picture is a weekly close above the 1,600.14 SMA‑200 or a sustained move above the 1,611.41 swing‑zone.
Recent headlines add context: European stocks slip as Middle East uncertainty makes for caution (Yahoo! Finance) reflects broader macro pressure, while Lam Research’s earnings bounce (Benzinga) shows selective sector resilience that has not lifted ASML.
ASML Holding NV fell 0.6% on November 2, 2026, to $1,556.43, extending a slide that has now taken the stock 16.6% below its October 2 peak. The weekly trend has turned down, the stock sits below its 200-day average, and the balance of evidence for the next 2–6 weeks leans negative. A daily close below $1,550 would open a path with reward-to-risk of 9.2-to-1 against a stop above $1,613 — the kind of math that makes a downside break worth watching closely.
The immediate trigger for the selloff was Intel's warning on October 30, which sent chip stocks broadly lower. Intel guided fourth-quarter revenue to $15.5 billion, well below the $17.3 billion consensus, and projected gross margin contraction to about 38%, citing persistent PC weakness through at least the first half of 2027. The Reuters report noted Intel does not expect positive free cash flow until 2027, and the stock fell 25% in premarket trading. That warning hit the entire semiconductor complex, including ASML, even though ASML's business is lithography equipment for leading-edge chips, not PCs.
What was already priced in matters here. ASML had already fallen 14.8% from its October 2 peak before Intel's warning, and the 5-day move shows the stock down 2.2% versus SOXX down 4.7% and SPY down 1.0%. In other words, ASML actually outperformed its sector by 2.5 percentage points over the past five days — the stock was not the epicenter of the selloff. The bigger driver was the sector-wide repricing of AI capital spending, as Investing.com described: the Nasdaq 100 fell roughly 4% on October 30 and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped around 9% at one point, on fears that the companies financing the AI buildout may not sustain the spending.
The debate about ASML is not about whether demand is real — it is about whether the stock's valuation already reflects it. The bullish case, as The Motley Fool laid out, rests on record Q3 revenue of €11.7 billion, net income of €5 billion, a 57.5% gross margin, and management seeing demand exceeding capacity through 2028. ASML is the sole supplier of EUV lithography machines, making it structurally critical to advanced chip production. The bearish case is simpler: the stock is down 21.8% from its 52-week high of $1,989.44, and the 50-day average at $1,700.56 is now overhead resistance. The analyst consensus is strong buy with a mean target of $2,149.71, but the low target sits at $867.12 — a 44% downside from here — and the stock trades 27.6% below the mean target, which suggests the sell-side has not yet caught up to the tape.
The long-term thesis is intact but the trend is broken. ASML is now below both its 10-week and 40-week averages, and the 40-week average is the line that defines the long-term trend — the stock is no longer in an uptrend by that measure. The 200-day average at $1,598.35 has become the level where sellers have shown up on rallies, and the stock closed below it on November 2. The 52-week range still shows a stock that is up 61% from its low of $966.57, but the path from the October 2 peak of $1,867.31 has been a steady grind lower, not a sharp capitulation. The weekly trend is down, and the daily trend runs with it — the two are aligned, which is what gives the bearish reading its conviction.
For the next 2–6 weeks, the balance of evidence leans negative with medium conviction — two of four conviction points. The daily trend runs with the weekly downtrend, and the stock is lagging the S&P 500 by 7.3% over 50 days. The one point against the bearish case is that ASML is leading SOXX by 3.9% over the same period, which suggests the stock is not the weakest link in the sector. The strongest case against the bearish reading is that the stock is oversold — RSI at 34.2 — and that the analyst consensus remains strong buy with a mean target 27.6% above the current price. But oversold conditions can persist in a downtrend, and the analyst target has not been updated for the October 30 sector shock. The evidence points to more downside risk than upside reward from here, and the conviction is medium, not high, precisely because the stock has shown relative strength against SOXX and because a single positive catalyst — a strong order announcement or a stabilization in the AI capex narrative — could reverse the move quickly.
The structure holds below $1,598.35, the 200-day average. That is the line where sellers have consistently shown up on rallies, and as long as the stock stays below it, the weekly downtrend is intact. The level where the trend would end is $1,611.41, the swing zone — a weekly close above that would signal that buyers have regained control. The 50-day average at $1,700.56 and the swing zone at $1,710.36 are the next resistance levels above that, but they are secondary until the stock reclaims the 200-day.
The breakout level is a daily close below $1,550.00, a round number that sits just below the current price. From there, the first target is $1,531.31, the swing zone, which gives reward-to-risk of 0.3-to-1 against a stop at $1,613.47 — that is not a trade worth taking on its own. The second target is $966.57, the 52-week low, which gives reward-to-risk of 9.2-to-1 against the same stop. The math meets the 3-to-1 threshold only because the far target is so distant; the near target is barely worth the risk. The stop at $1,613.47 is derived from the 200-day average plus a quarter of the 14-day ATR of $60.49, which means a close below $1,550 would be wrong if the stock immediately reclaimed $1,613. The map is clear: below $1,550, the path to $1,531 is short and the reward is small, but the path to $966 is long and the reward is large — the risk is in the middle, where the stock could stall for weeks.
A weekly close above $1,611.41, the swing zone, would change the picture — that is the level where the weekly downtrend would be called into question. The non-price fact that would do it is a reversal in the AI capex narrative: if the major hyperscalers signal that their spending plans are intact despite the October 30 selloff, the sector-wide repricing could reverse quickly. ASML's own earnings are not until January 27, 2027, so the stock will trade on sector news and order announcements for the next two months.
