Stock-Split Watch: Is ASML Next?
At around $700 per share, ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML) has one of the highest share prices among semiconductor stocks. That raises the possibility of a stock split. While stock splits have become less common in 2025, they can come in bunches. They also stir up interest in a stock, and that could be helpful for the struggling ASML, which is down 18% over the past year.
Let's explore why companies split their stock, review ASML's track record with the practice, and consider whether the stock is worth buying at its current price, with or without a future share split.
A stock split is a corporate action that increases the number of a company's outstanding shares while reducing the share price proportionally, leaving the overall market capitalization and investor ownership unchanged. For instance, in a 10-for-1 split, one $700 share becomes 10 shares worth $70 each.
