ASML to Expand Production Capacity on 2027-2028 Demand Surge

ASML, the Dutch chip equipment maker, announced plans to further increase production capacity to meet high demand for its machines in 2027-2028, after net profit more than doubled to nearly €5 billion in the last quarter. The move signals sustained strong demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, likely driven by AI and leading-edge chip investments. Uncertainty remains on the scale of capacity expansion and potential supply chain constraints.
