ASML says it's getting order interest through 2030 as profit smashes expectations
The chip equipment maker said demand is stretching beyond 2028 as customers place orders years ahead and third-quarter profit beat expectations.
- On Wednesday, ASML forecast fourth-quarter net sales of €14.2 billion to €15.2 billion , exceeding analyst expectations as AI-driven demand for its semiconductor equipment remains strong.
- ASML, the world's largest supplier of chipmaking equipment and sole maker of EUV machines needed for advanced semiconductors, serves as a bellwether for the AI buildout with shares rallying 56% this year.
- The Dutch company narrowed its 2026 net sales outlook to between €44 billion and €45 billion , raising the lower end from €43 billion with a gross margin of around 56 per cent.
- CEO Christophe Fouquet said customers are expressing interest in placing orders for 2029 and 2030, driven by "their views on the size and duration of AI-related investments." This signals strong longer-term demand visibility.
- Fouquet noted that supply planned for 2027 and 2028 will not fully meet customer demand, prompting the company to investigate "ways" to increase capacity beyond its previous 30% forecast.
