A quality valuation analysis on $ASML 🧘🏽‍♂️

•NTM P/E Ratio: 29.88x
•10-Year Mean: 31.10x

•NTM FCF Yield: 2.90%
•10-Year Mean: 3.05%

As you can see, $ASML appears to be trading near fair value

Going forward, investors can receive ~4% MORE in earnings per share & ~5% LESS in FCF per share🧠***

Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $ASML is an excellent business (*Financials in USD*)

•Cash & Short Term Inv: $8.49B

•2022: 59.4%
•2023: 70.4%
•2024: 47.4%
•LTM: 58.2%

$ASML has excellent return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business

REVENUES✅
•2014: $7.09B
•2024: $29.28B
•CAGR: 15.23%

FREE CASH FLOW*
• $ASML FCF is very sporadic due to heavy capital expenditures & isn’t necessarily the most reliable way to analyze the company’s value
•2014: $1.23B
•2024: $9.43B
•CAGR: 22.59%

NORMALIZED EPS✅
•2014: $3.15
•2024: $20.03
•CAGR: 20.31%

SHARE BUYBACKS✅
•2018 Shares Outstanding: 426.40M
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 392.00M

By reducing its shares outstanding ~8.0%, $ASML increased its EPS by ~8.7% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 52.5%
•LTM Operating Margins: 34.8%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 29.3%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~4% MORE in EPS & 5% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $ASML has to grow earnings at a 14.94% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2028 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (14.94%) required growth rate:

2025E: $28.07 (22.0% YoY) *FY Dec

2026E: $29.84 (13.8% YoY)
2027E: $35.83 (21.3% YoY)
2028E: $40.00 (21.3% YoY)

$ASML has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out so let’s assume $ASML ends 2028 with $40.00 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:

31x P/E: $1240💵 … ~14.5% CAGR

30x P/E: $1200💵 … ~13.4% CAGR

29x P/E: $1160💵 … ~12.2% CAGR

28x P/E: $1120💵 … ~11.0% CAGR

27x P/E: $1080💵 … ~9.8% CAGR

As you can see, $ASML appears to have attractive return potential if we assume greater or equal to 29x EPS (below its 10-year mean, current multiple, & justified given its quality, moat & growth rate if we consider its 15.77% EPS CAGR Estimates 2026-2028)

Today at $813💵 $ASML appears to be a good consideration for investment, albeit with extreme volatility & a smaller margin of safety than when it traded for ~26x in May 2025 (when I considered it a “strong consideration for investment”)
