What Wall Street Has Been Saying \ud83d\udc02 Bullish Takeaways <\/p>\n

UBS lifted its ASML price target to \u20ac1,900 from \u20ac1,600 and highlights what it sees as a unique position within European semiconductors, which supports a higher implied valuation range than before.<\/p>\n

UBS points to sustained lithography capacity demand, together with ASML\u2019s exposure to memory customers and North America, as key pillars for its risk and reward view at recent share levels.<\/p>\n

BofA raised its ASML price target to \u20ac1,886 from \u20ac1,868 after increasing its calendar year 2026 to 2028 EPS estimates by 4% to 6%, citing expectations for tight Foundry and DRAM supply.<\/p>\n

A series of upward price target revisions from firms including Berenberg, Deutsche Bank, RBC Capital, Susquehanna, Citi, Wells Fargo and Barclays signals broad analyst support for ASML\u2019s execution and product positioning.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc3b Bearish Takeaways <\/p>\n

Even with higher targets from UBS and BofA, investors face the risk that Foundry or DRAM supply conditions or lithography spending plans evolve differently from current analyst assumptions, which could challenge these valuation frameworks.<\/p>\n
