"ASML Chief Executive Officer Christophe Fouquet said the company's chip-making customers had conveyed a notably more positive assessment of the market situation in the medium term based on expectations of strong AI-related demand. This is reflected in a marked step-up in their medium-term capacity plans and in our record order intake, Fouquet said in a statement. Therefore, we expect 2026 to be another growth year for ASML's business, largely driven by a significant increase in EUV sales and growth in our installed base business sales."
"The Dutch firm said on Wednesday that it booked orders worth 13.2 billion euros ($15.8bn) in the final quarter of 2025, more than half of which were for its most advanced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines. ASML logged orders worth 7 million euros during the same period the previous year. Net sales came to 9.7 billion euros in the October-December period, ASML said, taking sales for all of 2025 to 32.7 billion euros."
ASML booked 13.2 billion euros of orders in Q4 2025, with more than half for advanced EUV lithography machines, compared with 7 million euros a year earlier. Net sales reached 9.7 billion euros in October-December, taking 2025 sales to 32.7 billion euros and net profit to 9.6 billion euros, up from 7.6 billion in 2024. The company forecast 2026 net sales between 34 billion and 39 billion euros. Management reported customers have increased medium-term capacity plans due to strong AI-related demand, and expects 2026 growth from higher EUV sales and installed-base business. ASML plans to cut about 1,700 jobs, mostly leadership roles, across the Netherlands and the United States to improve agility and allow engineers to focus on engineering; the cuts represent about 4 percent of its roughly 44,000-strong global staff.
