TREE NEWS reports: ASML reported record third-quarter 2026 net sales of €11.662 billion, up about 55% year on year, with net profit of €4.96 billion, up roughly 133%, and basic EPS of €12.95, above the roughly €10.7 consensus. About €500 million of net profit came from a valuation gain on its Mistral AI stake. ASML said 2027 and 2028 equipment capacity cannot fully meet customer demand, with some clients seeking 2029 and 2030 bookings. Its US ADRs fell about 3.9%.
ASML Q3 net sales hit record €11.66B, up 55% YoY; EPS €12.95 beats
The headline beat is flattered by a one-off valuation gain on the Mistral AI stake, so the more telling signal is the demand commentary: capacity constraints running into 2027 and 2028, with bookings already stretching to 2029 and 2030. That is an unusually long visibility horizon for semiconductor equipment, and it implies customers are planning capacity well beyond a normal cycle. The ADR decline despite the beat suggests expectations were already elevated. Whether that long-dated booking interest converts into firm orders is the open question.
