ASML’s stock rose sharply in Q1 2026, driven by strong demand for lithography solutions amid broader tech sector declines.
ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) closed at $1,892.66 per share on June 15, 2026, posting a 27.29% one-month return and a 144.48% gain over the past year. The company’s market capitalization reached $729.46 billion, reflecting its dominance in semiconductor equipment.
The rally came as the Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund outperformed the S&P Global 1200 Information Technology Index, which fell 6.57% in Q1 2026. ASML’s strong performance contrasted with broader tech declines, supported by demand for AI and semiconductor infrastructure.
Despite geopolitical risks, ASML’s resilience highlighted its critical role in global supply chains, with investors favoring its exposure to high-growth sectors.
