ASML Trading Volume Drops 42.9% Ranking 93rd Despite Stock Price Surge and EU Chip Investment Push

On March 24, 2025, ASML's trading volume reached 804 million, a 42.9% decrease from the previous day, ranking 93rd in the day's stock market. ASML's stock price rose by 1.62%.

ASML's stock price surged as Europe called for increased investment in chips to compete with the U.S. This move is part of a broader strategy to localize industries previously dominated by global supply chains, which could initially lead to higher consumer prices.

ASML has been actively repurchasing its shares, with regular updates on transactions conducted under its buyback program being made public under the Market Abuse Regulation.

Nine EU countries, led by the Netherlands, are pushing the European Commission to follow up on the 2023 EU Chips Act to boost semiconductor manufacturing. This push is part of a broader effort to enhance Europe's semiconductor industry, including chip design, materials, and equipment.

ASML is expected to return to growth in 2025, with forecasts indicating revenue of 30 billion to 35 billion euros, representing a 15% increase from the 28.3 billion euros reported previously.
