US lawmakers introduced the MATCH Act to further restrict semiconductor equipment exports to China, targeting ASML's deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines. These machines, used for making less advanced chips, have so far been accessible to Chinese firms, unlike ASML's extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines. The proposed restrictions could significantly impact ASML's China sales, which already declined from 33% to an expected 20% of total sales this year. The bill is early-stage and uncertain, but if passed, it may cause short-term order spikes and midterm sales volatility for ASML, while disrupting China's semiconductor manufacturing capabilities that rely heavily on ASML's tools.
