Why it matters: ASML's CEO restating that AI demand keeps chips supply-limited is mild positive sentiment for the semi-equipment and AI-compute complex, but it is well-known thesis commentary, not a new capability, deal, or capex number, so read-through is limited.

At publish time: Headline is CEO outlook commentary ("supply limits will persist", "Musk serious about Terafab") — no signed deal, capex figure, or earnings print, so it flags as sentiment rather than a hard catalyst.
