Newsquawk Staff ·
- Overall, strong metrics from the Dutch semiconductor maker; it beat on top- and bottom-lines, with Gross Profit Margin and Net Income also topping analyst expectations.

CEO Fouquet also provided upbeat commentary where he stated that AI-related investments are driving demand, adding that order intake remained "extremely strong" in H1. On the supply front, he suggested that there are plans to add 30% to its 2026 NAV EUV capacity, with aims to boost it further in the coming years.
- Also driving the optimism is news that Intel has decided to use ASML equipment for its Panther Lake laptop chips.
