Announced reorganisation (i.e. job reductions) will be mostly focused on Development & Engineering (D&E), which will have an impact, and should see a benefit from this. Impact will go beyond D&E.
Will be an increase in unit capacity this year, stemming from the ongoing gradual increase in the 'move rate' (i.e. quarterly shipment pace).
Very strong China sales in 2025 did surprise them a bit, the pullback expected in 2026 is more a normalisation, rather than it "falling off a cliff".
Will continue to hire.
Somewhat concerned about energy costs.
Will be a busy 2026; an important factor will be when customer fabs are ready.

Context

The restructuring focused on Development & Engineering reflects strategic adjustments rather than distress, suggesting confidence in future demand and operational efficiency. Given the interdependencies in the semiconductor supply chain, ASML's prospects could materially benefit from the successes of peers like Micron and SK Hynix.
