Overview
- ASML reported a strong quarter with €9.3 billion in revenue and €7.58 earnings per share, and it raised full-year sales guidance to €43–45 billion and gross margin targets to 54%–56%.
- The company sold 86 lithography systems in the quarter, including 16 extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines, and gave Q3 sales guidance of €11–12 billion.
- Installed-base services generated €2.8 billion in the quarter, about 30% of revenue, providing steady recurring cash flow and supporting high overall margins.
- ASML plans to increase low-NA EUV and DUV production capacity by roughly 30% by 2027, and most of that added capacity is already booked by customers.
- A key constraint on future growth is U.S.-led export controls that bar ASML’s most advanced EUV tools from China, creating a material geographic and policy risk to demand.
