Pomerantz Law Firm Highlights Class Action Lawsuit Against ASML Holding NV for Investors with Losses

Shareholder Alert: Class Action Lawsuit Against ASML Holding NV

The Pomerantz Law Firm has issued an important alert to investors who have experienced financial losses in ASML Holding NV, a leading company in the semiconductor sector, regarding a recently filed class action lawsuit. This legal action threatens to hold ASML, its executives, and directors accountable for potential securities fraud and other unlawful business practices that may have impacted shareholders during significant downturns in financial performance.

To streamline communication, potential plaintiffs are requested to provide their mailing address, contact number, and details regarding their ASML stock purchases.

The class action pertains to events that occurred during the period when ASML's operational and financial results exhibited a worrying decline. Most notably, on October 15, 2024, ASML reported its financial results for Q3 2024, revealing a staggering 53% drop in quarterly bookings from €5.6 billion in the previous quarter to just €2.63 billion. This drastic decline raised alarms among investors and indicated broader issues affecting ASML's business model amid changing market dynamics.

In light of these results, President and CEO Christophe Fouquet acknowledged that, despite growth in artificial intelligence sectors, other areas of the semiconductor market are slower to recover than initially anticipated. This admission saw ASML's gross margin target adjusted down to a range of 51%–53%, reflecting the company’s more prudent outlook moving forward.

On the preceding day, October 16, 2024, during an earnings call, ASML's CFO Roger Dassen discussed the sluggish bookings as a clear indicator of a cautious customer environment and a slow recovery in traditional semiconductor markets. CEO Fouquet further elaborated that the recovery would likely persist well into 2025, suggesting a broader shrink in ASML’s growth prospects.

Shareholders likely felt the sting of these revelations, as the stock dropped sharply from $730.43 per share to $683.52, reflecting a 16.3% drop in price one day and a further 6.4% decrease the next. Such volatility raises significant concerns for investors regarding the stewardship of ASML's management and the future of their investments.
