ASML Holding is trading 4.2% down at €1,509.60 on October 14, 2026, with sector weakness the clearest explanation.

  • Chip stocks faced pressure over Chinese competitor CXMT’s DRAM technology and Broadcom’s CEO likening some AI investing to a casino; European chip-equipment shares, including ASML, fell 2%–4%.
  • ASML reported record Q3 net sales of €11.7 billion and net income of €5.0 billion on October 14, but its release did not attribute the decline to results.
