PHASML, the world's leading supplier of computer chip manufacturing equipment, has raised its 2026 financial forecasts and announced plans to expand production capacity due to strong demand for AI chips. The company reported higher-than-expected second-quarter earnings, with revenue reaching €9.33 billion and net income of €2.92 billion. ASML expects full-year 2026 net revenue between €43 billion and €45 billion, up 16% from previous projections. This growth is driven by increased orders from major clients like TSMC, Samsung, and others, who are expanding capacity to meet AI-related demand. Despite U.S.-led export restrictions, Chinese customers are expected to account for around 20% of ASML's sales this year, though this share has decreased compared to recent years.
