Barclays' call on ASML

Barclays recently pushed its price target on ASML shares up to EUR 1,900 from EUR 1,575 while keeping an Overweight recommendation, pointing to sustained demand for EUV systems used in leading-edge chip production.

The bank’s updated view underlines that ASML remains a key beneficiary of rising capital expenditure on advanced fabs among top foundries and integrated device manufacturers.

Sunday focus on ASML’s background

ASML is the only supplier of EUV lithography tools, which are crucial for manufacturing processors at advanced process nodes such as 5-nanometer and below.

How the company makes money

ASML generates most of its revenue by selling lithography systems like its Twinscan NXE and EXE EUV platforms to chipmakers, complemented by a growing installed base services business that provides maintenance, upgrades and spare parts.
