Positive Points ASML Holding NV (ASML, Financial) reported total net sales of EUR6.2 billion for Q2 2024, slightly above guidance.

ASML Holding NV (ASML) expects Q3 2024 total net sales to be between EUR6.7 billion and EUR7.3 billion, showing confidence in continued growth. Negative Points R&D expenses for Q2 2024 were slightly above guidance at EUR1.1 billion, driven by higher costs in metrology and inspection. Free cash flow for Q2 2024 was EUR386 million, which, although improved, still faces pressure due to customer support and higher inventory levels.

The company faces macroeconomic uncertainties, which could affect future performance and demand. ASML Holding NV (ASML) anticipates lower revenue from logic customers in 2024 compared to the previous year due to significant capacity additions.

And based on the bookings momentum and backlog, how do you think about calendar '25 revenues?
