The analysis focuses on ASML's financial performance and valuation. Over the past decade, ASML's revenue expanded from $6.9 billion in 2016 to $31.3 billion in the trailing twelve-month period, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 19%. The company's Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) improved from 13.7% in 2016 to 21.7% in 2024, surging to 49.8% in 2025. Longer-term, the ROIC trajectory is projected to normalize into the mid-20% to low 30% range over the next three to five years. The cash flow from operations to sales ratio also demonstrated an upward trajectory, experiencing a temporary lull during the economic reopening due to a pull-forward in demand for electronics, which is now recovering. Despite ASML being an excellent company with strong prospects, its current valuation metrics raise concerns. The stock is trading at a forward Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 37.14 and a forward Price-to-Operating Cash Flow (P/OCF) of 33.54, which are considered fair value for a business of this quality. However, a proprietary discounted cash flow (DCF) model calculates an intrinsic value per share of $692.91. Comparing this to the current market price of $1,107.90, the stock is significantly overvalued. While ASML inherently deserves a premium valuation, the current market price reflects a premium deemed excessive. Therefore, the recommendation is to Hold, an assessment reiterated for positions going into 2026, indicating that current market prices represent a hold rather than a buy opportunity.
