ASML analyst price targets
ASML analyst data as of October 2026, sourced from Yahoo Finance and may be delayed. A price target is what an analyst published on a date, not a forecast Walnut endorses, and targets are typically set on a 12-month view. Verify current figures before deciding.
The average target of $2155.08 sits well above the $1641.52 price, +31.3%. The median is $2309.05, and where the two differ the median is the steadier read, because one unusually high or low target cannot drag it.
What the ASML target range actually tells you
The published targets span $869.65 to $2889.53. That gap is 94% of the average target, which counts as wide disagreement. A spread that wide is the most informative number on this page: analysts who all follow the company closely cannot agree within a factor that large, which means the outcome genuinely depends on assumptions nobody can settle yet.
The useful move is to read the high target as one bull scenario and the low target as one bear scenario, then ask which set of assumptions you find more plausible. Both cases are worked through on the ASML is it a buy page.

The most recent published rating actions on ASML within the last six months, from Yahoo Finance. Each row is dated because a target only means something alongside the date it was set. Walnut is not an investment adviser and does not endorse any of these views.
In the last six months there have been 8 raises and 1 cut among these actions. The direction of revisions is often more telling than the level, because it shows which way informed opinion is moving.
How analysts rate ASML
Of the analysts with a published rating, 38 say buy, 2 say hold, and 1 says sell, so 93% carry a buy. That mix has been broadly steady over the last three months.
Read the distribution rather than the label. Sell ratings are rare across the entire market for structural reasons, so a stock with no sell ratings is unremarkable, while even a handful of them is worth understanding.
Why a ASML price target is not a prediction
- It is a 12-month model output. An analyst picks assumptions for revenue, margin, and a multiple, and the target falls out of the arithmetic. Change one assumption and the target moves a lot.
- The distribution is skewed. Sell-side coverage carries far more buy ratings than sell ratings across the whole market, so the average is not a balanced vote.
- Targets follow price as often as they lead it. Revisions frequently arrive after a move, not before, which is why a rising target is weak evidence on its own.
- Nobody is scored on it. There is no cost to a target that never gets close, so treat accuracy as unverified unless you check the firm's record yourself.

Consensus estimates for ASML published by sell-side analysts, as of October 2026, from Yahoo Finance. Each figure is the average of the analysts counted, with the lowest and highest estimate beneath it; growth compares with the same period a year earlier and is left blank where either figure is a loss. Estimates change constantly. Walnut is not an investment adviser.
Estimates are the most widely published forecast there is: many more analysts model a company's earnings than publish a price target on it. They are also revised constantly, and the direction of those revisions into a report is often more informative than the level. ASML Holding next reports on October 14, 2026, which is when these figures get tested against actual results.
Is there a 2030 forecast for ASML?
Not a published one. Analyst price targets run to about twelve months, occasionally two years, and the firms covering ASML do not put out a 2030 number. Anything presenting one is extrapolating a growth rate rather than reporting research, and a figure produced that way tells you about the assumption chosen, not about the company.
The furthest-out consensus that exists is for the fiscal year ending Dec 2027: analysts expect earnings of 55.54 EUR per share, +36% on the fiscal year ending Dec 2026 estimate of 40.82 EUR. Beyond that, nobody publishes estimates, so any later number is an extrapolation.
On the figures we hold as of October 2026, ASML trades at about 40.4 times trailing earnings and 26.4 times forward earnings. A forward multiple below the trailing one means the market expects earnings to grow, and the size of that gap is roughly how much growth is already in the price.
That is the more useful frame for a ten-year question. A share price is the market’s estimate of future cash flows discounted to today, so the multiple is already a statement about growth. The long-horizon question is whether ASML Holding can deliver what is priced in, and what would have to change for that to break. Both are answerable from the drivers and risks below. A number for 2030 is not.
What could move ASML from here
In short: the drivers cited most often are High-NA EUV ramp, AI infrastructure pulling demand forward, Geopolitical positioning. The risk cited most often against it is geopolitical export restrictions could expand and cut more China revenue, which is still about 20% of 2026 sales.
Both sides are worked through properly, with the high and low targets used as the bull and bear anchors, on the ASML is it a buy page. This page deliberately stops at the numbers.

FAQ
What is the price target for ASML Holding (ASML)?
+
The average analyst price target for ASML is $2155.08 as of October 2026, across 17 analysts. That is +31.3% against the $1641.52 price at the time of the data pull, so the consensus sits well above where the stock trades. The median target, which is less distorted by one extreme view, is $2309.05. Targets move constantly; verify the current figure before relying on it.
How high could ASML go?
+
The highest published target is $2889.53, which is +76.0% against the $1641.52 price. That is one analyst's most optimistic case, not a ceiling and not a forecast. The lowest is $869.65. The gap between them is the honest answer to this question: analysts who all follow ASML Holding closely disagree by 94% of the average target, so treat any single number as one scenario.
How many analysts cover ASML?
+
17 analysts publish estimates on ASML as of October 2026. Of those with a published rating, 38 say buy, 2 hold, and 1 sell, so 93% carry a buy rating. More coverage usually means the consensus is better informed, though it also means the obvious points are already in the price.
Are analyst price targets for ASML accurate?
+
Treat them as informed opinion, not measurement. Two things are worth knowing. Sell-side ratings skew positive across the market, and ASML is no exception at 93% buy ratings, so the distribution is not a balanced vote. And targets tend to follow the share price at least as often as they lead it, getting raised after a stock has already run. They are most useful as a read on what the informed consensus expects, and least useful as a prediction of where the price lands.
Has the ASML price target been raised or cut recently?
+
In the last six months there have been 8 raises and 1 cut among the published actions on ASML. The most recent was JP Morgan, which lowered its target to $2350.00 from $2400.00 on October 15, 2026. The direction of revisions often tells you more than the level, because it shows which way the informed view is moving.
What are analysts' earnings estimates for ASML Holding (ASML)?
+

They describe expectations, not results.
When does ASML report earnings next?
+
ASML Holding's next earnings report is scheduled for October 14, 2026. The report is when the estimates on this page get tested against actual results, which is why targets and estimates tend to move most in the days after it.
What is the ASML stock price prediction for 2030?
+
There is no published one. Analyst targets run to about twelve months and no firm covering ASML publishes a 2030 figure, so any site showing one has extrapolated a growth rate rather than reported research. The answerable version of the question is what the current price already assumes about ASML Holding's earnings, which the forward multiple on this page sets out, and what would have to change for that to break.
Will ASML go up in 2026?
+
Nobody knows, including the analysts publishing targets. What the numbers on this page tell you is where informed opinion currently sits and how much it disagrees with itself, which is genuinely useful and completely different from a prediction. The risk most often cited against ASML Holding: Geopolitical export restrictions could expand and cut more China revenue, which is still about 20% of 2026 sales. Walnut is not an investment adviser.
Walnut is informational, not investment advice, and does not publish price targets of its own. The analyst figures on this page come from a October 2026 data pull of published third-party research, are approximate, and change constantly.
