ASML Raises 2026 Sales Forecast To €45 Billion On AI Chip Demand After Earnings Beat
ASML reported second-quarter net sales of €9.3 billion and a gross margin of 54.0%, beating analyst estimates and raising its 2026 revenue forecast to €43 billion to €45 billion. Net income reached €2.9 billion, supported by stronger-than-expected installed base management and service sales that offset flat EUV system shipments in the quarter.
The Dutch equipment maker said AI spending is driving accelerated capacity expansion plans among chipmakers, prompting the company to secure nearly all required 2027 EUV system orders and plan a 30% increase in low-NA EUV and DUV production capacity for 2027. Updated guidance also incorporates anticipated demand from Elon Musk’s planned Terafab project in Texas.

@zerohedgeASML Rises On Upgraded Outlook As Capacity Expansion Signals Robust Chip Demand
@tengyanai2/ It was surprising to me was that the unit surge was DUV, not EUV. EUV units were flat: - 16 in Q1, 16 in Q2. EUV's share of system sales actually fell, 66% to 57%. The whole volume jump was DUV. …because the EUV ramp is loaded into H2
@tengyanai1/ ASML just beat and raised guidance. That's the headline everyone will run. But the number that actually matters was sitting in the deck (not the press release): Taiwan went from 23% to 30% of ASML's machine sales in a single quarter. (
