ASML Reports Record Orders, Strong Sales Amid AI Demand
(MENAFN) Dutch semiconductor giant ASML on Wednesday reported record orders and stronger-than-expected sales for the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by robust demand for AI technologies.
Bookings, a closely watched metric by investors, exceeded analyst forecasts, reaching €13.2 billion ($15.8 billion) in Q4. Net sales totaled €9.7 billion ($11.6 billion) for the October–December period, surpassing market expectations, while net profit came in at €2.84 billion ($3.4 billion).
ASML also unveiled plans for a €12 billion ($14.4 billion) share buyback program to be completed by December 31, 2028.
Looking ahead, the company expects net sales between €8.2 billion and €8.9 billion ($9.8 billion–$10.6 billion) for the current quarter and overall 2026 sales of €34 billion to €39 billion ($40.8 billion–$46.8 billion). This outlook signals at least 20% revenue growth compared to 2024 and contradicts earlier forecasts suggesting sales growth might be limited.
In addition, ASML announced it will reduce its workforce by about 1,700 employees, primarily in the Netherlands and some in the U.S. The company said the layoffs aim to improve efficiency and address instances where working methods were considered “less agile.”
