- ASML boosted its guidance for the third time, reporting that AI demand will exceed its chip-tool capacity through 2028.
- Despite ASML's strong earnings and raised outlook, the broader chip sector slumped — Barron's reports the sell-off actually deepened after the results.
Why it matters: ASML's third guidance raise and its explicit warning that demand will outpace capacity through 2028 confirm sustained AI-driven order momentum at the sole supplier of advanced EUV lithography machines. The counterintuitive chip-stock slump on good news, however, suggests investors are repricing the sector on factors beyond ASML's near-term backlog — possibly margin pressure, customer concentration risk, or end-demand doubts.
