“On the technology side, we see litho intensity continue to develop positively as EUV adoption gains momentum, including progress on High NA EUV.

“On the market side, we have seen continued positive momentum around investments in AI, and have also seen thisBextending to more customers, both in leading-edge Logic and advanced DRAM,” added Fouquet, “on the other hand, we expect China customer demand, and therefore our China total net sales in 2026 to decline significantly compared to our very strong business there in 2024 and 2025.”

Users of the high-NA EUV machine report that 300,000 wafers have been run on it, said Fouquet. It has been reported that five of the $370m+ machines have been shipped – all of them to Intel, Samsung, Hynix and TSMC.
