What Could The Next 10 Years Bring? 

ASML has a consensus rating of "Overweight" and a price target of $880 based on the ratings of 13 analysts. The price target implies a nearly 20% potential upside from the current stock price.

On Oct. 15, the company announced its Q3 2024 earnings, revealing a significant revision to its 2025 net sales guidance. Now projected between 30 billion euros and 35 billion euros ($32.7 billion to $38.2 billion) – a reduction from the previously stated range of 30 billion euros to 40 billion euros, as reported by Benzinga.

This outlook downgrade was driven by a slower-than-expected recovery in key market segments despite strong growth from artificial intelligence investments.
