ASML to Report Q3 Earnings with Revenue and Profit Expected to Nearly Double

ChainCatcher report: Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML is expected to release its third-quarter financial results on October 14. Driven by demand for AI chips, market expectations anticipate significant year-over-year growth in revenue and profits compared to the same period in 2025. Wall Street analysts project third-quarter revenue of €11.73 billion, a 55% increase year-over-year, and earnings per share of €10.76, nearly doubling from €5.49 in the third quarter of 2025. In the second quarter, ASML reported revenue of €9.3 billion, up from €7.7 billion in the same period of 2025, with net profit rising from €2.3 billion to €2.9 billion. The company forecasts third-quarter revenue between €11 billion and €12 billion, with a gross margin of 55% to 57%, and has raised its full-year revenue guidance to €43 billion to €45 billion. ASML is the world’s only commercial producer of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, and major foundries such as TSMC, Intel, and Samsung rely on its equipment to manufacture advanced AI processors. The company is also developing its next-generation High-NA EUV system. Intel has already used this equipment to process over one million wafers in R&D, testing, and manufacturing, while Samsung plans to integrate it into advanced DRAM mass production by 2028. The market expects ASML to increase its current EUV system production capacity by approximately 30% by 2027.
