ASML outlook beats as AI-driven demand set to exceed supply through 2028

What happened: ASML reported mixed Q3 2026 results and guided Q4 revenue above analyst estimates, saying AI-driven demand for chipmaking equipment will exceed its planned supply in 2027 and 2028. Why it matters: CEO Christophe Fouquet said planned 30% capacity increases for 2027 and 2028 will not meet customer demand, and some customers are discussing 2029 and 2030 orders. ASML opposes a proposed U.S. measure, the MATCH Act, that would restrict deep ultraviolet lithography sales to China.
