ASML Lifts 2026 Sales Outlook Again Despite Q3 Revenue Miss Sparking Sector Selloff
Yahoo Finance ·
ASML Holding NV upgraded its annual revenue projection for the third time this year, projecting yearly sales between 44 billion euros and 45 billion euros. Despite the positive outlook, third-quarter revenue slightly missed Wall Street consensus, dragging the company's U.S.-listed shares down 3% in after-hours trading. Net sales for the period jumped 55% to 11.66 billion euros, while earnings per share surpassed analyst estimates. CEO Christophe Fouquet highlighted that surging artificial intelligence investments are driving robust equipment demand, with clients even eyeing orders for 2029 and 2030. The earnings miss also triggered a broader semiconductor sector pullback, pulling down Micron, SanDisk, and Intel by 1% to 2.6%. Nevertheless, retail investors on Stocktwits maintained an extremely bullish stance, brushing off the recent dip as a typical news-driven selloff while keeping a positive long-term view.
AI 시장 분석
Despite ASML raising its full-year 2026 revenue outlook, its Q3 revenue of $13.07 billion missed market expectations, causing its stock to fall 3% in after-hours trading. Consequently, major U.S. semiconductor stocks such as MU, SNDK, and INTC also declined together by 1% to 2.6%. Meanwhile, the CEO emphasized that AI-related demand will persist through 2029 and 2030, maintaining expectations for long-term growth.
상승 영향
- AI — ASML stated that long-term order visibility is secured through 2029 and 2030 due to AI-related infrastructure demand, strengthening the fundamentals of the AI sector.
- Semiconductors — Equipment demand is strong enough that supply in 2027 and 2028 will fall short of customer demand, acting as a mid-to-long-term tailwind for the semiconductor equipment and manufacturing ecosystem.
하락 영향
- Semiconductors — ASML's Q3 revenue of $13.07 billion missed market expectations ($13.12 billion), causing peer stocks like MU and INTC to decline together.
DYAX 전담 분석
ASML's Q3 net sales increased by 55% to 11.66 billion euros, but fell slightly short of dollar-denominated estimates, triggering profit-taking. The guidance that supply shortages will persist through 2028 proves the soundness of its fundamentals.
In the short term, increased volatility is expected due to the pre-reflection of earnings expectations, while in the long term, the continuation of AI infrastructure investment remains the key indicator. The speed of supply chain expansion and customer order momentum will determine future valuations.
