About the company
ASML designs and manufactures photolithography systems for semiconductor manufacturing. Its main products are deep ultraviolet (DUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines that print circuit patterns on silicon wafers, with EUV enabling smaller features. The company sells these systems to leading chipmakers and earns substantial revenue from installation, maintenance, and upgrades over the machines’ lifetimes. Its goal is to help continue scaling semiconductors by leading in high-end lithography and maintaining strong relationships with customers like TSMC, Samsung, and Intel.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Q2 2026 sales hit €9.3 billion, and full-year guidance rose to €43-45 billion.
- Management said 2028 EUV output could exceed 110 tools, unlocking AI wafer capacity.
- India launched ASML operations with Tata Electronics support, opening a new customer frontier.
What critics are saying
- Europe bought zero ASML lithography tools in 2026, exposing a dead domestic demand base.
- Chinese DUV entrants in Shanghai threaten ASML's 29% 2025 China revenue by 2027.
- ASML cut 1,700 jobs in 2026; continued restructuring signals execution strain and morale damage.
What makes ASML unique
- ASML alone ships EUV systems; no advanced chip node exists without Veldhoven tools.
- High-NA EUV expands into Nvidia-scale data-center chips, extending ASML's moat through 2033.
- Installed Base Management generated €2.8 billion in Q2 2026, deepening recurring revenue.
