Carl Zeiss SMT Holding GmbH & Co. KG files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from ASML Holding N.V., Exhibit 8.1 list of subsidiaries and associates (filed 25 February 2026), ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology and Wikipedia: Carl Zeiss SMT. The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.
- ASML Holding N.V., as of 31 Dec 2025. This is a real equity stake, not only a supply contract. ASML accounts for it under the equity method. Carrying amount EUR 822.6 million at 31 December 2025 (EUR 903.0 million at 31 December 2024), converted at the ECB euro reference rate of 1.1567 USD per EUR on 14 August 2026. ASML states the entity is privately held so no quoted market price exists, therefore the carrying amount is not a fair value.

What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of Carl Zeiss SMT Holding GmbH & Co. KG where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
