ASML Holding NV raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook following strong first-quarter results. The company now projects 2026 sales between €36 billion and €40 billion. This upgraded forecast reflects accelerating demand for advanced artificial intelligence chips.
The company reported first-quarter net sales of €8.8 billion. Net income reached €2.8 billion for the period. Gross margins finished at the high end of previous guidance.
CEO Christophe Fouquet noted that AI-related infrastructure investments continue to drive semiconductor industry growth. Demand currently outpaces supply for critical chipmaking equipment. ASML remains the world's sole manufacturer of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines.
