ASML lifts 2026 sales forecast to €43-45B on strong AI-chip orders

ASML posted Q2 net sales of €9.3 billion and raised its full-year 2026 guidance to €43-45 billion from €36-40 billion, with CEO Christophe Fouquet citing extremely strong first-half order intake for AI-chip lithography. The upgrade has ASML planning to add 30% to its 2026 low-NA EUV capacity for 2027, a marker that AI-driven chip capex is now booked years ahead rather than projected.
