ASML's $400 million lithography machine is essential for making advanced AI chips but cannot print the largest chip designs in a single exposure, forcing costly multi-step stitching processes. A fix involving larger photomasks is planned but won't be ready until around 2031-2033, creating a bottleneck as AI chip designs rapidly grow. Despite strong AI demand, production limits, export controls, and geopolitical issues constrain ASML's near-term growth. The stock price reflects these challenges, balancing high demand with operational and market risks.
ASML shares are trading at USD 1,593.00 with a 1-day gain of 1.13% as of Sep 16, 2026 03:11 WIB on Pluang.

With a market cap of $617.99 billion, ASML continues to be a major player in technology amid production and geopolitical constraints.
