Crypto/Web3 news flash: As AI investment remains hot, ASML has raised its full-year sales outlook for the second time this year. The company expects net sales this year to reach €43 billion to €45 billion, up from the €36 billion to €40 billion forecast made in April. As tech firms such as Microsoft and Alphabet plan to pour several hundred billion dollars into building advanced AI infrastructure, chipmakers are accelerating capacity expansion. ASML CEO Peter Wennink said meeting market demand is one of the key challenges it faces. In addition, ASML plans to produce at least 60 low numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tools this year, and expects to have the capability to manufacture at least 80 per year by 2027. The new campus in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, is scheduled to start construction this quarter and can ultimately accommodate about 20k employees.

EUV production capacity ramping up to 80 machines per year; Eindhoven’s new park has 20,000 workstations, and this small corner of the Netherlands wants to become the global heart of chipmaking.

€43–€45 billion; the CEO said meeting market demand is a challenge—this isn’t a challenge at all; it’s a printing press running at full throttle.

ASML’s latest guidance upgrade is way too aggressive—there’s really no ceiling on AI compute demand.
