ASML rides AI demand to record orders, raises 2026 outlook and trims workforce
ASML posted record Q4 bookings of €13.2 billion driven by AI-chip demand, raised its 2026 sales outlook to €34-39 billion, and reported €9.6 billion in net profit on €32.7 billion revenue, while announcing about 1,700 job cuts (3.8% of staff) mainly in the Netherlands and the U.S. and a €12 billion share buyback through 2028; the results reflect sustained AI-driven demand for EUV lithography equipment with long-term targets unchanged.
