ASML lifts its interim dividend by 17% year over year
ASML pays three equal interim dividends each year plus a larger final payment, and its interim dividend is subject to a 15% foreign withholding tax for U.S. investors.
ASML has increased its interim dividend by 17% year over year, adding another income-related milestone to its AI chip growth story, according to MarketBeat Ratings. The company’s most recent interim payment rose to €1.88 per share, up from €1.60 in the prior year period.
The outlet notes ASML’s dividend schedule differs from the typical U.S. pattern. ASML pays three interim dividends per year and then a final dividend that is generally larger, with its final dividend for 2025 listed at €2.70 per share.
MarketBeat Ratings also highlights the payout and sustainability angle. It says ASML’s payout ratio sits below 30%, and the increase signals confidence in the business outlook, while U.S. investors should account for a 15% foreign withholding tax that can reduce the cash received.
Using the interim comparison as a guide, the outlet estimates the interim increase works out to roughly a 16% increase for U.S. investors on that payment, and suggests that if a similar increase applied through the full year, the annual dividend could land near $10 per share, implying an estimated yield of about 0.6%.
