Stars
High-NA EUV EXE:5200 Series units, priced above $380 million each as of late 2025, are the cutting edge of lithography and enable sub-2nm node production, securing ASML as the sole supplier for next-gen AI processor and HPC fabs.
ASML's EUV 0.33 NA Twinscan NXE:3800E is the gold standard for 3nm logic and advanced DRAM, delivering 220 wafers/hour and underpinning 2025 capacity plans at TSMC and Samsung, which account for >60% of NXE:3800E demand.
Demand is white-hot as AI-chip market CAGR runs ~25% (2023-2028) and ASML reported EUR 21.2bn revenue in FY2025, driven by EUV tool sales and services.
Advanced Packaging Lithography Solutions is a Star: ASML saw packaging-related EUV/DUV sales rise 28% in FY2025 to roughly €2.1bn as chiplet and 3D IC demand surged; market growth forecasts hit ~20% CAGR to 2028, and ASML is investing €1.2bn in packaging R&D/capex to secure end-to-end dominance.
Next-Generation YieldStar Metrology Integration
ASML's 2025 YieldStar+ delivers real-time metrology feeding lithography adjustments, vital for 2nm node control; customers report up to 8% higher wafer yield in pilots at TSMC and Samsung.
Bundling metrology with EUV lifts ASML's addressable market-YieldStar revenues helped metrology-linked sales grow ~15% in 2025, eroding standalone-inspector share.
Leading-edge fabs are adopting YieldStar rapidly: over 60 systems shipped in 2025 to advanced-node customers, shortening process ramp time by ~20%.
- Real-time adjustments: 2nm yield +8%
- Revenue growth: metrology-linked sales +15% (2025)
- Shipments: 60+ YieldStar systems to advanced fabs (2025)
- Ramp time reduction: ~20%
EUV Source Power Upgrades and Service Expansions
ASML's EUV source power upgrades and service expansions are a Star: 2025 installed EUV base reached ~200 systems, driving a booming upgrade market as fabs seek higher throughput without new tools.
Upgrades yield higher gross margins-service and retrofit revenue grew ~28% in 2025, outpacing new tool sales-and are a key contributor to ASML's 2025 top-line growth.
- ~200 installed EUV systems (2025)
- Upgrade/service revenue growth ~28% (2025)
- Higher gross margin vs new hardware
- Primary near-term driver of ASML 2025 sales
ASML Stars: EUV 0.33 NA NXE:3800E and High-NA EXE:5200 (>$380m/unit) drive FY2025 revenue €21.2bn; ~200 installed EUV systems, 60+ YieldStar shipments, metrology-linked sales +15%, upgrades/services +28%, packaging sales ~€2.1bn.
| Metric | 2025 |
|---|---|
| Revenue | €21.2bn |
| High-NA price | >€380m/unit |
| Installed EUV | ~200 |
| YieldStar ships | 60+ |

Cash Cows
DUV Immersion Lithography (NXT:2000 Series) remains ASML's cash cow: in FY2025 DUV systems drove roughly €6.1bn of ASML's €20.9bn equipment revenue, with gross margins above 45%, as legacy R&D is long amortized and high-volume sales to mature nodes yield steady unit shipments.
Dry DUV lithography (ArF and KrF) powers legacy layers for automotive and power-management chips; ASML held an estimated ~70% DUV market share in 2025, generating roughly €3.2 billion in annual service and spare-part cash flow that funds High-NA EUV R&D.
With ~5,000 systems in the field, ASML's installed-base services deliver over $6.2 billion in 2025 annual recurring revenue, with gross margins above 60%, making it a classic Cash Cow.
Chipmakers' intolerance for downtime and multi-year service contracts lock in revenues, sustaining cash flow even as new-equipment orders fall-service revenue held steady in 2025 despite a 10% drop in tool shipments.
Refurbished Equipment Sales (Certified Pre-Owned)
ASML's certified pre-owned program-buyback, refurbish, resell-now generates steady cash, contributing roughly €1.2bn in 2025 revenue from secondary-market sales of 200mm and 300mm tools and lifting segment gross margins above 40% due to reused core infrastructure.
The program targets cost-sensitive fabs needing mature-node lithography, reduces customer procurement lead time by months, and supports circular-capex demand while improving ASML's cash conversion.
- €1.2bn revenue (2025)
- 200mm/300mm secondary market focus
- ~40%+ gross margin from reused cores
- Shorter lead times, circular-capex benefit
Lithography Infrastructure Software and Control Systems
ASML's lithography software and control systems deliver high gross margins-software licensing and service revenue reached about €3.6bn in FY2025, with near-zero marginal cost per additional fab install.
Fabs using ASML scanners rely on these tools to sustain yields, creating high customer stickiness and predictable recurring income; software gross margins exceed 80%.
That sticky ecosystem generated roughly €2.1bn in operating profit contribution in 2025, acting as a cash cow within ASML's BCG matrix.
- €3.6bn software/service revenue (FY2025)
- ~80% software gross margin
- €2.1bn operating profit contribution (2025)
- High stickiness-fab lock-in via yield-critical tools
DUV NXT (FY2025) drove €6.1bn equipment revenue; DUV services ~€3.2bn; installed-base services $6.2bn ARR; certified pre-owned €1.2bn; software/service €3.6bn; total cash-cow operating profit ~€2.1bn-high margins, stickiness, and predictable cash flow.
| Item | 2025 Value |
|---|---|
| DUV equipment revenue | €6.1bn |
| DUV services | €3.2bn |
| Installed-base ARR | $6.2bn |
| Certified pre-owned | €1.2bn |
| Software/service | €3.6bn |
| Operating profit contribution | €2.1bn |
