Sign InAmid the escalating global chip war, ASML has demonstrated resilience in one of its most strategic markets. According to reports, the company continues to generate one-fifth of its total revenue from the Chinese market despite stringent U.S. export controls aimed at limiting Beijing's access to advanced technologies. The persistence of these financial ties suggests that geopolitical tensions have not yet severed the company's commercial links with the region.
This revenue stability is primarily driven by robust Chinese demand for older-generation lithography systems, which fall outside the strictest bans on Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) technology. In comparison to peers, Applied Materials reported in its latest earnings that China accounted for approximately 43% of its sales (per Q2 2024 results), confirming that the entire sector remains heavily reliant on the Asian market despite regulatory pressure.
Regarding market performance, ASML stock stood at $1775.64 (at close July 14, 2026), trading near technical support levels after hitting a session high of $1798.27. Investors are closely monitoring future trade policy updates, especially following recent Chinese inflation data which showed a -0.3% monthly decline in the Consumer Price Index, potentially impacting industrial spending momentum in the country.
