CEO:
- "The semiconductor industry's growth outlook continues to solidify, driven by ongoing AI-related infrastructure investments. Demand for chips is outpacing supply. In response, our customers are accelerating their capacity expansion plans for 2026 and beyond, supported by long-term agreements with their customers."
- "ASML's order intake continues to be very strong as a result, and we are closely aligned with our customers to support their demand in a combination of delivery of new systems and performance upgrades of their installed base."
- "We expect in fact that the supply will not meet the demand for the foreseeable future; 2026 is panning out very nicely; we're going to continue to work very closely with our customers to increase our capacity. We are doing that in 2026. We will continue to do that in 2027".
Context
ASML has reported stronger-than-expected Q1 2026 sales and net profit, surpassing expectations and its prior guidance. The strong outlook for demand driven by AI investments indicates a robust semiconductor industry, although the Q2 revenue guidance slightly undercuts consensus. This quarterly performance and optimistic growth commentary suggest a solid continuation for ASML, potentially driving positive sentiment in the semiconductor sector.
