ASML Holding N.V. was established in 1984 through a joint venture between Phillips and ASM International in the Netherlands. It became independent in 1988 after splitting from ASM International. ASML went public on NASDAQ and Amsterdam Stock Exchange on February 1, 1995, with Phillips gradually divesting its stake and fully exited by 2006.
ASML has a monopoly as the world’s only supplier of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, which are crucial for manufacturing the most advanced semiconductor chips 5 nm or smaller. ASML is also the leader in Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) lithography, which is less advanced than EUV, utilized for 45 nm, 28, nm and some 7 nm processes, and remains critical for:
- Memory Chips
- Automotive and consumer electronics
- Analog and Power Integrated Circuits
The following is a review of ASMLs financials, Porter’s Five Forces Analysis, and the Business Model Canvas. I am not a subject matter expert in semiconductors, ASML or its financials, and it’s not a conclusive list.
Enjoy!
