ASML’s revenue rose 24% in the second quarter to €7.7 billion, or $8.95 billion. The consensus estimate projected €7.52 billion. ASML Chief Financial Officer Roger Dassen told investors that the better-than-expected sales increase was partly driven by upgrades made to customers’ EUV equipment.

Chief investment officer at investment firm Aureus Han Dieperink remained unfazed about next year’s economic outlook, arguing that the previous quarter depicted strong demand. If ASML’s uncertain outlook for 2026 materializes, it will become the first year in over a decade since 2021 for the firm to record interrupted revenue growth.
