ASML capacity upgrade soothes AI chip bottleneck fears
AMSTERDAM: ASML, the world’s dominant supplier of equipment needed to make high-tech computer chips, raised its 2026 sales forecasts on Wednesday and pledged a capacity boost that may ease fears a production bottleneck could slow the AI boom.
Its second forecast hike of the year came as Europe’s most valuable listed company, whose machines help make chips for Nvidia’s contract chipmaker TSMC, beat second-quarter earnings forecasts, pushing its shares up nearly 4%.
