With ASML shares up 102.36% over 12 months, trading around €1,222 and sitting roughly 20% below analyst price targets yet about 30% above some intrinsic value estimates, you have to ask: is there still a buying opportunity here, or is the market already pricing in future growth?
Most Popular Narrative: 41.3% Overvalued
According to the most followed narrative, ASML’s fair value of €864.91 sits well below the last close of €1,222.40, which sets up a clear valuation gap for investors to assess.
ASML projects revenues between €30 and €35 billion for its 2025 lot. Saying the longer-term opportunity exceeds €60 billion through 2030, ASML appears very strong across nearly every available metric.
Curious what kind of revenue path and profit margins could justify that fair value, especially against a higher current share price? The narrative focuses on ambitious growth, strong profitability and a premium future earnings multiple. Want to see exactly how those ingredients combine into one number? The full narrative breaks down the assumptions step by step.
Result: Fair Value of €864.91 (OVERVALUED)

However, this upbeat story could be challenged if export controls tighten further on EUV tools, or if geopolitical tension disrupts ASML’s China revenue and long term demand expectations.

Another View: Market Ratios Tell a Different Story
That user narrative leans on a forward P/E of 39 to reach a fair value of €864.91 and call ASML overvalued at around €1,222. Yet current data shows a P/E of 47x, which still sits below the European semiconductor industry at 50.7x and peer average at 64.3x, and only slightly above a fair ratio of 48.8x. The key question is whether the market is really stretched here or simply pricing ASML closer to the quality and growth profile investors already see.
