ASML Secures Monopoly Power Over EUV Production

ASML reported record orders and earnings in the fourth quarter of 2025, with net bookings of €13.2 billion and 48 EUV machines shipped, generating €11.6 billion in EUV revenue. The company raised its 2026 sales forecast to €34–39 billion, citing surging AI-driven demand for sub-3nm and high-NA lithography. The results underscore ASML’s near-monopoly in EUV, critical to Nvidia, TSMC, and global AI chipscale expansion.
