In a move reflecting optimism in the advanced semiconductor sector, JP Morgan has upgraded its earnings estimates for ASML for the years 2027 and 2028. This revision follows signals from the company that it can supply 110 or more low-NA EUV lithography tools, significantly exceeding its previous capacity guidance of 90 units. ASML achieved this increased manufacturing flexibility by optimizing production processes and repurposing existing R&D spaces without requiring new construction.
This bullish outlook comes as the industry faces an intense race for AI-capable hardware, with ASML holding a monopoly on the machines required to print the world's most advanced chips. Compared to peers in the chip equipment space, recent results from Applied Materials showed robust demand for high-performance computing tools, validating the sector's growth trajectory per market data. Previous quarterly reports from ASML also highlight sustained demand from major foundries including TSMC and Intel.
