Visible Alpha projects ASML Q2 sales at €8.83 bln (~$10.08 bln), inside company
guidance of €8.4–9.0 bln and above €7.69 bln a year ago. Strong semiconductor
demand and tight supply have prompted expectations that ASML could lift
full-year sales guidance a second time this year. UBS says ASML may move
guidance to the top end of the range or slightly above it; JP Morgan’s Sandeep
Deshpande points to robust DUV tool shipments as a reason for another upgrade.
ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet has said AI infrastructure investment is driving
chip demand beyond supply, tightening memory and storage and pushing costs
higher; Micron executives have warned shortages could last past 2027. Investors
will watch ASML management comments on AI-driven demand and the guidance
outlook.
