ASML, a top computer chip equipment maker, has decided to stop publishing its quarterly new order bookings, a figure that has been closely watched by investors. The company stated that this metric is too 'lumpy' and contributes to excessive volatility in its share price.
This change in reporting will remove a key indicator that analysts and investors have historically used to gauge future demand for ASML's advanced lithography systems. The company's bookings have often been a leading signal for the health of the broader semiconductor industry.
The discontinuation of this metric may lead to a shift in how the market assesses ASML's performance and future prospects, potentially increasing reliance on other financial indicators or qualitative guidance from the company.
