ASML warns it may not achieve growth in 2026

NETHERLANDS, JUL 16 – ASML's net bookings reached 5.5 billion euros in Q2 2025, surpassing analyst expectations amid strong demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

  • On July 16, 2025, ASML, the Dutch supplier of chip-making equipment, indicated that it might experience stagnant revenue in 2026 due to increasing uncertainty in Veldhoven, Netherlands.
  • Ongoing geopolitical tensions and U.S. tariff measures have created uncertainty, leading semiconductor manufacturers in the United States to postpone final decisions on their investments while waiting for more definitive guidance on import costs.
  • The company reported second-quarter net bookings of 5.54 billion euros, surpassing analysts' forecast of 4.44 billion euros, supported by robust interest from semiconductor manufacturers focused on AI technologies, which bodes well for its future prospects.
  • CEO Christophe Fouquet noted that although the company is getting ready for expansion in 2026, it is unable to guarantee this outcome at the moment, due to rising macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, including tariffs.
  • ASML’s announcement suggests 2026 could mark the first flat revenue year since 2012, reflecting cautious investor sentiment despite solid current demand and historic growth.
