Semiconductor Equipment Demand Strength
ASML is raising capacity into 2027 on insatiable EUV and DUV demand after beating estimates.
ASML beat both revenue and earnings, with revenue about 5.4% above expectations, and raised guidance citing insatiable demand. Management is expanding low-NA EUV and DUV immersion capacity by roughly 30% in 2027, pointing to a multi-year lithography capex cycle rather than a one-quarter beat.
| Instrument | Side | Target | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASML | Long | Earnings and revenue beats plus raised guidance confirm that chipmakers are still ramping lithography spend. A planned ~30% capacity increase for low-NA EUV and DUV immersion in 2027 supports durable order visibility for the industry’s critical equipment supplier. |
Aehr Test Systems is seeing explosive order growth with formal FY27 guidance after beating estimates.
AEHR beat top and bottom line, with record Q4 bookings up about 500% year over year and FY27 guidance now set. That combination of backlog surge and multi-year visibility points to accelerating demand for semiconductor test and burn-in equipment.
