# Overnight Trading | ASML's performance falls short of expectations, plunging 12% at one point, Nvidia also hit

ASML, the leader in lithography machines, released its first-quarter performance report for 2024. In the first quarter, ASML's net sales were 5.29 billion euros, slightly below the expected 5.47 billion euros. The stock price fell during after-hours trading, experiencing a flash crash and currently down over 7%:

**Key Data**

-   Total net sales in the first quarter were 5.3 billion euros, with a gross margin of 51.0% and a net profit of 1.2 billion euros.
-   Net orders in the first quarter amounted to 3.6 billion euros, with EUV orders in Europe totaling 656 million euros.
-   ASML **expects total net sales in the second quarter of 2024 to be between 5.7 billion euros and 6.2 billion euros**, with a gross margin between 50% and 51%.
-   ASML anticipates that total net sales in 2024 will be similar to 2023.

**Comparison between the first quarter and the fourth quarter of last year:**

**CEO Statement and Outlook**

"Our total net sales in the first quarter were 5.3 billion euros, within the mid-range of our guidance, with a gross margin of 51.0%, higher than the guidance range, primarily driven by product mix and one-time factors.

"We expect total net sales in the second quarter to be between 5.7 billion euros and 6.2 billion euros, with a gross margin between 50% and 51%. ASML expects R&D costs to be around 1.07 billion euros and sales and management costs to be around 295 million euros. We maintain our outlook for the full year 2024, expecting a stronger second half than the first half, in line with the industry's continued recovery trend from the trough. We view 2024 as a transitional year, continuing to invest in capacity expansion and technology." ASML President and CEO Peter Wennink stated, "Preparing for the shift in the cycle."

**Stock Repurchase Plan and Dividend Proposal**

ASML plans to announce a total dividend per ordinary share of 6.10 euros for 2023, a 5.2% increase from 2022. Taking into account the three mid-term dividends of 1.45 euros per ordinary share paid in 2023 and 2024, this leads to a final dividend proposal of 1.75 euros per ordinary share to be presented at the shareholders' meeting.

In the first quarter, we purchased approximately 400 million euros worth of shares under the current 2022-2025 share buyback program.

**Performance of Other Semiconductor Stocks in After-Hours Trading**

NVIDIA was initially up 0.8% but later fell to 0.2% during after-hours trading:

AMD's trend is similar to NVIDIA's:

While TSMC, Samsung, and Intel, as ASML's largest customers, have less impact:

Samsung in South Korea is currently in the opening stage:

**What is night trading?**

The emergence of night trading allows trading in U.S. stocks to be conducted 24 hours a day, which is more in line with the working hours of people in the East.

Investors can trade U.S. stocks in a timely manner based on the market conditions in the Asia-Pacific region and unexpected events in Hong Kong and the U.S., without having to wait for the U.S. market to open in the evening.

The night trading session for U.S. stocks is from 8:00 p.m. to 3:50 a.m. Eastern Time from Sunday to Thursday, together with pre-market trading, intraday trading, and after-hours trading, forming a 24-hour trading cycle for U.S. stocks **.**

**Risk Warning**

The trading volume during night trading is generally much smaller than during intraday trading, and usually smaller than after-hours and pre-market trading. Please be aware of slippage risks. In addition, there is greater volatility risk around major events such as the release of financial reports by listed companies
