ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026 — lithography giant calls on EU to help create demand
Summary
ASML reports 0% European revenue in 2026 due to a lack of demand for lithography equipment, prompting calls for EU policy changes to stimulate chip manufacturing in Europe. The piece notes ongoing European fab investments but argues they largely use older tools and may not drive demand for ASML's high-end EUV systems, highlighting a broader debate about European chip sovereignty and supply chains.
