ASML completed a series of share‑repurchase transactions during the week of 10‑14 November 2025, buying back a total of 204,011 shares for €180,848,432. The weighted‑average price per share was €885. The transactions were disclosed in the company’s investor‑relations update released on 17 November.
Daily details: On 10 November, 40,502 shares were repurchased at €893.03 each, totaling €36,169,566. The next day, 40,530 shares were bought at €892.41, amounting to €36,169,531.

Finally, on 14 November, 2,021 shares were repurchased at €860.75, for €36,169,551.
The buyback is part of ASML’s €12 billion capital‑return program announced in November 2022. As of 28 September 2025, the company had already repurchased 9.0 million shares for €5.9 billion, leaving roughly €6.1 billion of the program still available. The program is expected to continue into 2026, with a new tranche anticipated in January 2026.
The weekly repurchases reduce the number of shares outstanding, which can lift earnings per share and support the share price. They also signal management’s confidence in the company’s long‑term prospects, especially amid growing demand for AI‑driven semiconductor manufacturing. ASML’s CEO Christophe Fouquet and CFO Roger Dassen have highlighted the company’s strong position in the EUV lithography market and its expanding role in AI chip production.
While the share buyback itself is routine, the program’s scale and timing reflect ASML’s broader strategy to return value to shareholders while maintaining flexibility for future investments in high‑return technologies such as High‑NA EUV systems. The company’s continued focus on capital allocation, coupled with its dominant market position, positions it well to navigate geopolitical export controls and sustain growth in the semiconductor industry.
