ASML Holding stock reacts to Nvidia leadership shake-up

Nvidia’s CEO exit pulled much of the chip sector lower, yet ASML Holding (ENXTAM:ASML) was little changed as traders weighed its role in semiconductor equipment against the broader selloff.

This muted move gives you a clear starting point to compare ASML’s recent price performance, business results, and ETF flows with the more volatile swings hitting many chip designers.

Over the past month the share price has slipped, with a 30 day share price return of down 12.39% and a 90 day move of down 15.24%. However, ASML Holding still shows stronger longer term momentum with a 35.74% year to date share price return and a 1 year total shareholder return of 54.10%.

Recent headlines around record quarterly results, tight supply into 2027 and 2028, and fresh buying from the SOXX ETF have kept attention on ASML Holding. At the same time, the sharp reaction to Nvidia’s leadership change highlights how quickly risk perceptions around AI exposed chip stocks can shift.

Bulls point to record results, scarce EUV supply and ETF buying. Bears argue the recent pullback barely dents a rich multiple. Which side do the current valuation markers back up for ASML Holding?

Most Popular Narrative: 25% Undervalued

Against a last close of €1,338.80, the leading narrative on ASML Holding puts fair value at €1,780. This points to a clear valuation gap and sets up a debate about how much risk is already in the price.

According to Ivoed, an investor in the Simply Wall St Community who wrote the narrative, the key question is whether that gap is justified by long term execution and China risk, or whether investors are overreacting in the short term.

The more important issue is therefore not whether China immediately replaces ASML. It is whether the probability of long-term substitution is now high enough to raise ASML’s required return and lower the terminal multiple investors are willing to pay. A DCF is particularly sensitive to that question because most of ASML’s value comes from cash flows expected after the explicit forecast period. In my base model, the terminal value represents about 85% of enterprise value. Small changes to the discount rate or terminal growth assumption therefore have a large effect on fair value.

See why 52 investors see ASML Holding as 25% undervalued.

The narrative uses a discount rate of 9.20% and arrives at a fair value of €1,780, which implies ASML Holding trades at a 24.8% discount based on that framework. The closing price of €1,338.80 therefore prices in a wider margin for execution, export control and competition risk than this view suggests, even though the same analysis also flags that a large share of estimated worth comes from cash flows far into the future.

In practical terms, that means this approach describes more upside than downside from today’s quote. It also leans heavily on ASML Holding maintaining high earnings quality, strong return on equity and sustained revenue growth. Any reset in those expectations, or a shift in how investors think about long dated cash flows, could move that fair value number meaningfully even if near term reported results stay solid.

Result: Fair Value of €1,780 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the narrative could crack if export controls tighten further or Chinese lithography suppliers scale faster than expected and investors reset the multiple that ASML Holding commands.

Another View: ASML Holding through a DCF lens

The Simply Wall St DCF model tells a very different story to the community narrative. On that framework, ASML Holding at €1,338.80 trades above an estimated future cash flow value of €1,019.57. This points to the shares looking expensive rather than undervalued. For investors, that gap raises a blunt question: Is the market correctly pricing long term cash generation, or are expectations running ahead of what the balance of cash flows can reasonably support?

Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.
