Factors to Consider
ASML Holding’s third-quarter results are likely to have benefited from its portfolio strength, growing investments, expanding position in the memory market and increasing new design wins.
Further, the demand for the company’s products is likely to have strengthened, owing to the increasing adoption of advanced nodes in support of the build-up of the digital infrastructure, which includes growth drivers such as 5G, AI and high-performance computing solutions.
Prospects around next-generation technology development, capacity additions at leading-edge nodes, and increasing competitive dynamics and investments in Extreme Ultraviolet (“EUV”) infrastructure are likely to have benefited the company’s performance across foundry and logic in the quarter under review.
Growing memory market, especially DRAM, and solid momentum in logic, owing to transitions to 5G as well as AI, are likely to have driven the company’s EUV system revenues in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
The company’s Memory revenues are expected to have increased in the quarter to be reported, driven by healthy demand in data centers, with improving demand for consumer electronics.
The service business is expected to have performed well in the third quarter, driven by the increasing contribution from EUV service revenues.
The application business of the company is expected to have continued to gain from the rising need for scanners in EUV and Deep Ultraviolet systems in the quarter under review.
The growing momentum of YieldStar 385 among customers is anticipated to have been another positive.
However, uncertainties related to the macro environment — including the economic impact of the pandemic and geopolitical developments — are expected to have been headwinds for the company in the to-be-reported quarter.
