What the company does
ASML (Netherlands) makes lithography machines for chip manufacturing, including the world's only EUV machines ($200–400M each). Customers are TSMC, Samsung and Intel; its money comes from machine sales and servicing.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.

Figures from the company's filings (2026-06-30), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $629.62B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 32.3% of total assets (2026-06-30). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
