Dividend
ASML aims to distribute a dividend that will be growing over time, paid quarterly.
On an annual basis, the Board of Management, upon prior approval from the Supervisory Board, submits a proposal to the AGM with respect to the amount of dividend to be declared with respect to the prior year, taking into account any interim dividend distributions. The dividend proposal in any given year will be subject to availability of distributable profits, retained earnings and cash, and may be affected by, among other things, our view of potential future liquidity requirements including for investments in production capacity, working capital requirements, the funding of our R&D programs and acquisition opportunities that may arise from time to time.

Dividend pay out
On January 28, 2026 ASML announced that it intends to declare a total dividend for the year 2025 of €7.50 per ordinary share, which is a 17% increase compared to 2024. An interim dividend of €1.60 per ordinary share will be made payable on February 18, 2026.
Recognizing this interim dividend and the two interim dividends of €1.60 per ordinary share paid in 2025, this leads to a final dividend proposal to the General Meeting of €2.70 per ordinary share.
