ASML reported a strong quarter with soaring revenue and raised guidance, dominating advanced chip lithography with its High NA EUV tools. Meanwhile, Canon and Nikon are pursuing alternative lithography methods—nanoimprint and DUV—that target less advanced chip layers where cost efficiency matters more than cutting-edge resolution. Canon's nanoimprint system has gained traction with memory maker Kioxia, signaling potential growth in this niche. The market is watching whether these cheaper technologies can scale and gain wider adoption, which could shift industry dynamics and investment opportunities beyond ASML's current dominance.
