1233 GMT - ASML Holding investors might react negatively at first if the Dutch semiconductor-equipment maker stopped providing quarterly order figures in its results, Barclays Capital analysts write in a research note. However, withholding the figures could help reduce the volatility of future consensus estimates, they say, since there are big variations in ASML's orders each quarter. The analysts expect the company to report 3.4 billion euros in fourth-quarter orders on Jan. 29, with 1 billion euros coming from its high-end extreme ultraviolet tools that are used to print the most intricate layers on chips. ASML shares trade 0.9% lower at 732.00 euros. (mauro.orru@wsj.com)
