ASML examining ways it can make more than 110 EUV tools in 2028, JPMorgan says

ASML is exploring ways to produce over 110 EUV chip-printing tools in 2028, according to JPMorgan analysts. The company has strong demand, with most orders for 2028 deliveries. ASML's production limit is its assembly speed, not the supply chain. Intel and new customers, including Musk's Terafab, are expected to increase orders. Sales to Chinese memory chip makers will grow in 2027.
