Watch: April 22 shareholder AGM for management commentary on India fab progress and AI packaging revenue contribution—the next key inflection point for 2026–27 guidance.
Full analysis
ASML's Q4 2025 orders hit €13.2 billion, more than double expectations, as five mega-cap tech companies committed over $700 billion to AI infrastructure in 2026. Full-year 2025 net profit reached €9.6 billion with 2026 revenue guidance of €34–39 billion. EUV lithography demand remains locked in: TSMC projects AI-related revenue growth exceeding 50% annually through 2029, entirely dependent on ASML's advanced systems. Recent earnings show consistency—the last three quarters beat estimates—while recent price action sits 12% below highs despite 20% three-month gains, signaling institutional consolidation around structural AI tailwinds rather than euphoria.
ASML owns the sole chokepoint in advanced chip manufacturing for the trillion-dollar AI push. With multi-year order visibility and pricing power intact despite China's EUV development race, the company trades at 31x forward earnings for a secular growth asset with 50%+ revenue expansion visibility through 2029—justified by scarcity value and zero domestic alternatives for customers.
