Recent buyback transaction updates have typically coincided with modest positive price reactions around the disclosure dates.
Over recent months, ASML has regularly reported detailed buyback transactions, including multiple weekly updates in December 2025 and new-program disclosures since 28 January 2026. These releases highlight consistent repurchasing activity at rising share-price levels, from sub-€1,000 ranges in late 2025 to above €1,100 in early 2026. Historical 24-hour reactions to similar buyback updates have been mildly positive, with moves between roughly flat and just under 2%, framing today’s notice as part of an ongoing capital-return pattern.
Historical Comparison
In the past several months, ASML issued five buyback transaction updates tagged as buybacks, with an average 24-hour move of 1.01%. Today’s near-flat -0.02% change sits at the low end of that historical response range.
Disclosures show a continued sequence of weekly and multi-day buyback updates, transitioning from a 2022-announced program to the newer 2026 program with steadily higher repurchase price levels.
