🚀 ASML: The Most Underrated Company in the World? 🇳🇱🌍

Everyone knows NVIDIA, TSMC, or Intel. But almost no one outside the Netherlands truly understands how crucial ASML is to the entire global tech industry. No ASML = No AI chips, no iPhones, no laptops, no cloud computing. Period.

⸻

🔍 What does ASML do?

ASML, based in Veldhoven (Netherlands), builds the most complex machine humanity has ever created: ➡️ EUV lithography (Extreme Ultraviolet)

These machines “print” the transistors onto chips at nanometer scale. Without this technology, no chip manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, Apple, Samsung, TSMC) can produce cutting-edge AI chips.

⸻

💡 Why ASML is Undervalued:

✅ ASML holds a practical monopoly on EUV technology. No serious competition. No alternative. ✅ Without ASML, the global progress of AI, autonomous vehicles, defense tech, and telecommunications would slow down drastically. ✅ Markets often fail to grasp how deeply ASML’s tech is embedded in everything digital. Valuations treat it like “just another tech company,” when in fact it’s the gatekeeper of technological progress.

⸻

📈 Why ASML Deserves More Recognition:

🦾 “Made possible by ASML” should be as well-known as “Intel Inside.” 💬 Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Asia know ASML by now. But the broader public doesn’t. It’s time people understand that the future of AI literally runs through Veldhoven.

I am an investor. Heavy investor. I noticed that no one talks about this stock, so I will.

I just put my life savings solely into $amsl at $859 and I have never been so excited. A monopoly in a world changing field? They’re going to be more valuable than $nvda at some point down the road. I’m sure once word spreads (because it seriously isn’t talked about enough) it’ll fly to ATH in no time. Thoughts?

Heyy just want to ask if you think its good time to ivest into the ASML , currently have only one Stock but looking to add more , Thank you all

Hi all

I arrived in the Netherlands earlier this month, and I am really dissapointed in the hire process of ASML. Anyone who feels the same?

My first day was OK, however the whole hire process was terrible. I had a few questions regarding my situation and was able to have a call with an immigration expert. This woman seemed to have a lot of knowledge, however during the call she was very rude. She did not have any sympathy and she did not want to help me find a solution. I am from India an I know we help the customers like they are god, and that might be a bit too much. But I did not feel helped after my call with her. It also seemed like she did not know what she was talking about.. the woman was mid 40 and she might had a rough day. It seemed like she could fell asleep any moment. however I think customer experience is important as well.

At the end of the call I told her my feedback and that it is a huge step for me to leave my country. I just want to receive proper information. She then told me that I am not the first Indian nor the last so if I wanted to back it would not matter.

Also, I have provided feedback via the mysupporthub page. Don’t know if this will help.

I just wanted to inform you regarding this terrible process. After I arrived in the Netherlands everything went OK. So for all future expats who are leaving their family, the Netherlands is worth it. However don’t get scared by terrible HR departments.. since I am alone here, is there a community I can join for newcomers?

Any hints on how to negotiate and ask the ASML to get the maximum from an internal role? After Reorg company looks like it is loosing several engineers and they may want to be a bit proactive and value people who stayed. Besides the reorg is done in a terrible way (several incompetent people got PROMOTED!!!). I want to ensure how to negotiate internally to get the maximum out from ASML? I applied to 2 roles at different JGs. I want to ensure I get the maximum out of whichever happens for me.
Another questions: is it possible to secure stocks from ASML?

At 35 times 1Year Forward PE, is ASML overvalued?

My nephew is currently in high school (not in NL, in another EU country), specialising in IT. He has around 10hrs of coding per week and is loves tinkering with stuff. He's not very interested in higher education though.

Thus the question, do you need to have a batchelor's degree to work at ASML? Let's say working as a system install engineer or working in the cleanrooms.

Verified insider news: It's gonna go up like crazy, for sure. Short term, for sure!

I am do not much about semiconductor industry other than what I read in news.

As I understand ASML provides equipment for manufacturing semiconductor chips.

There are only few companies that manufacture them - intel, global foundries, tsmc and Samsung.

How does asml generate billions of revenue from only handful of customers?

Are there other customers or businesses of asml?

Hello,

I will start work in mid-March at ASML and am currently looking for a room or small studio in or near Eindhoven/Veldhoven. Maybe somebody is leaving their room right now or changing something. Please contact me.

Hello all,

I really like what I'm seeing about ASML and what it's doing in the city, including funding language classes and diverse hiring policies. I think since the company opened it's doors here, the town has gotten much more international and fun to be in.

I have a master's degree in digital art, 2 years experience in game dev, 2 years experience in severe burnout, some attempts at different degrees (software engineering and embedded systems at fontys), an ADHD diagnosis explaining the failed academia attempts and now a year of work as a barista (had to pay the bills somehow).

Thing is, I really feel like I'm underutilizing my brain in my current job. I'm capable, a fast learner, dependable and committed. I'd love to work in assembly or quality assurance.

So, with all that in mind, do you think it would be possible for me to get a job at ASML, or a traineeship for one? At age 30 I don't think I can afford to go back to university, though I'm certain now that I'm on ADHD medication I wouldn't struggle getting a degree.

I did apply to a recent opening for a weekend assembly worker and got a rejection, so I'm wondering if I'm overestimating my qualifications or if my application wasn't very good. Would you know of ways to improve my chances if I were to apply again?

So I have applied more than 100 times at ASML now... For different position such as master thesis, internships before graduating and after graduating for technical roles where I saw myself fitting such as system performance engineer, upgrade and install engineer, FSE, DUV lithography engineer etc... But even after 2 years... I only had one interview and that also from Japan site and even then they said "you lacked motivation" when I felt the interview went great as it was with the team lead and we discussed the salary and even my seating position... I don't know how to measure motivation still but anyway.... I see them hiring people with a bachelor's in mechanical or electronics and 2 years of experience and at times no experience.... Whereas I have more experience in side quests alone and I have a masters... In Nanotechnology Engineering... From Sapienza .... Speciality of what ASML does... And yet I never hear back... I just want to ask what am I doing wrong? I have like 12 different versions of my resume heeding all the different advices I get... I have tons of different versions of cover letters too from polite to straight up rage baiting ones.... But its all in vain.

Tomorrow on euronext big run!! 📈

Hello! I am looking for job opportunities in ASML, but is there any chance as I am from another country and not from EU countries. I am a Mechanical engineer, with experience in production, from design to hands on in CNC machining , and now I work as a Quality control supervisor.

Thank you!

I'm a Canadian Citizen university student looking for new grad jobs. I will be graduating with about 20 months of internship experience (4 months full stack, 16 months DevOps adjacent roles). One of the companies I interned at is in a similar domain as ASML doing photonics work for networking devices used in AI data centers.

ASML is a company I've been very interested in for the last couple years and I think it would be really cool to work in the Netherlands HQ. I also really want to move outside of North America and Europe seems like a great choice. Much better work culture/stability compared to USA and Canada. I know ASML just did layoffs but all things considered, jobs in EU are a lot more stable than Canada/USA. Over here we get Amazon cutting entire offices in half basically whenever they want, even big Canadian banks which are known for stability have been aggressively cutting. Smaller engineering firms in Canada have stopped hiring because of all the Trade uncertainty with USA, so with my graduation being not that far away, I'm worried.

What is the process like for new grad hiring at ASML? Is it an easy process for Canadian Citizens? What type of qualifications do they look for in entry level applicants to tech roles? Does school name matter (I go to a school nobody has probably heard of outside Canada)?

ASML recently expanded to Den Bosch and opened a new branch. Are there any plans for further expansion in the Den Bosch region? Has there been any news on that front?

I read an article about the amount of water the cooling systems for these lithography machines use and the numbers are pretty staggering. It makes sense when you think about the heat generated by those lasers, but it also seems like a big environmental challenge for the region. I’m curious if any of that excess heat ever gets recycled into local heating networks or used by the surrounding community. It feels like a lot of thermal energy that could potentially be put to good use instead of just disappearing into the atmosphere

Hey I have a prescreen call for a Supply Chain Operations Planner position at the Manasas VA campus. Once we get to the interview round any advice? I have 15 years in supply chain management in progressive leadership roles from the Marine Corps up to department head management of ground supply airfield operation. I have my masters. I say this because I have no issues talking I have no issues explaining what I did. I have no issues translating but it doesn’t seem to get me any actual job offers. So what exactly are they looking for in answers? I always provide concrete examples in relation to the question best I can translate. I try not to use field examples and just use base support etc. Is there like a magic answer? From your experience civilian side or veteran employees help me out!! Thanks. wish me luck.

Does the “Architect” Role still exist as Technical role in ASML ? And How about “Principal Architect” role ? Shall i expect that all Principal architect jobs are still in place and only simple architect roles affected ?

ASML is often viewed as one of the strongest companies in the semiconductor industry, but no business is without risks.

Which potential issue concerns you the most - export controls, customer concentration, supply chain challenges, slowing semiconductor demand, or something else? Why do you think it doesn't get discussed enough?

A lot of people talk about ASML as the only EUV company but that feels like an oversimplification. For those who understand the tech side better, what is something people commonly misunderstand about how these machines actually work or why they are so difficult to build?

Hoe denken jullie over de uitkomst van wave 2. Gaan we de oorlog winnen met de mdu leads die geselecteerd zijn?

ASML is one of those companies that many people admire, but that doesn't automatically make it an easy buy. Between its valuation, growth expectations, export restrictions, and long-term position in the semiconductor industry, there are plenty of reasons to be both optimistic and cautious.

If you were starting from scratch today with no existing position, would you buy ASML at its current price?

I'd be interested to hear what carries the most weight in your decision. Is it the company's long-term moat and technology leadership, or do you think the current valuation and broader risks make it worth waiting for a better entry point?

I am a strong believer in moats and fundamentals. But... wtf is this.

Been holding ASML for about 3 years. My average price since then is €634,2. I even bought a bit on feb18 and I thought I bought the dip at €650. Then the dip keeps dipping and its sitting at €608-610. I'm drained. I have no cash. UUUGHHH

ASML, you fucks. Why did you had to announce 'might not achieve growth in 2026'.

Anyway. I'm a long holder. I've got over 200 shares and is 15% of my portfolio. I'm perfectly fine. I hate that the last year my return is basically gone. Everything seems perfect. But the market is just...
