ASML reports EUR 499.3 million buyback: what it means for ASML Holding stock

ASML Holding (ISIN NL0010273215) reported EUR 499.3 million in share repurchases for transactions conducted from October 19 through October 23, 2026, according to ASML on October 26, 2026. The release identifies the figures as transactions under the company's current share buyback program, rather than a new program announcement.

What does the buyback mean?

The disclosed purchases covered 343,310 shares across five transaction dates. The largest daily volume was 71,300 shares on October 23, while the smallest was 67,063 shares on October 19.

The five reported transaction values stayed close to EUR 100 million each. Daily totals ranged from EUR 99.29 million on October 20 to EUR 100.05 million on October 21, giving the update a consistent execution profile.

Prices varied across five dates

ASML paid weighted average prices between EUR 1,401.89 and EUR 1,490.58 during the reported period. The highest weighted average price was recorded for the October 19 transactions, while the lowest applied to purchases dated October 23.

That timing matters for interpretation. The release dated October 26 reports transactions carried out earlier, so the announcement date does not mean that all purchases occurred on October 26. The company said the program itself was announced on January 28, 2026.

Capital returns stay measurable

The update gives investors a transaction-level view of ASML's capital allocation, with both share counts and purchase values disclosed for each date. It also provides a clearer distinction between executed repurchases and future plans, since the figures refer to completed transactions during the stated period.
