I just noticed a rather interesting figure from ASML—the leading photolithography equipment manufacturer. Their revenue for 2025 reached 32.7 billion euros, up 16% year over year, and that makes perfect sense when you look at the booming demand for AI.

But what’s truly impressive is that their net profit rose from 7.6 to 9.6 billion euros—an increase of nearly 26%. This shows that it’s not only the volume of work that has increased, but operational efficiency has also improved significantly. When you convert these figures into other units such as usdt to euro, you’ll see the real value of this growth.

Q4 2025 is the highlight—they recorded 13.2 billion euros in net orders, double that of the previous year. And total backlog reached 38.8 billion euros—that’s an enormous number. It means long-term demand for advanced technology nodes remains very strong.

The outlook for 2026 is also quite optimistic—ASML expects sales of between 34 and 39 billion euros, continuing to be driven by the AI cycle. They also increased dividends to 7.50 euros per share (up 17%) and announced a 12 billion euro share repurchase program, which shows management’s confidence in the company’s prospects.

One interesting thing is that although ASML plans to cut 1,700 employees, it still maintains a 2030 revenue forecast of between 44 and 60 billion euros. That reflects operational optimization and confidence in long-term growth. Clearly, ASML is still a key name in the global semiconductor industry.
