(Sharecast News) - Dutch semiconductor company ASML posted record fourth‑quarter revenues on Wednesday, driven by a double-digit increase in full-year sales.
ASML said revenues hit €9.7bn in Q4, while full‑year sales rose 16% to €32.7bn.
The chip‑equipment maker said the period also saw record order intake and free cash flow, with management pointing to improving customer confidence and a more durable outlook for AI‑driven demand.
ASML said Q4 gross margin came in at 52.2%, with full‑year margins at 52.8%, while net income totalled €2.8bn for the quarter and €9.6bn for 2025, and net bookings hit €13.2bn in the quarter, including €7.4bn from EUV, leaving ASML with a €38.8bn backlog at year‑end.
Installed‑base revenue reached €2.1bn in Q4 and €8.2bn for the year, supported by rising service income from the expanding EUV fleet and stronger upgrade demand.
Looking ahead, ASML guided for Q126 revenue of €8.2bn-€8.9bn and a gross margin of 51%-53%, with installed‑base revenue expected at around €2.4bn. Full‑year 2026 revenue was forecast between €34bn and €39bn, with margins again seen in the 51%-53% range.
As of 0830 GMT, ASML shares were up 6.13% at €1,292.20 each.
