# ASML posts record $13 billion quarter, plans capacity expansion

*2026-10-15 · Source: [Tom's Hardware](https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/asml-reports-record-usd13-billion-quarter-vows-to-expand-capacity-as-demand-for-lithography-equipment-soars-customers-eager-to-secure-orders-in-2030-as-demand-is-expected-to-outstrip-2027-and-2028-supply)*

ASML reported a record quarter of about $13 billion and said it will expand production capacity as demand for lithography equipment rises. Customers are reportedly placing orders for advanced tools years in advance, and AI-driven chip demand is straining capacity even with planned expansions.

**Why it matters:** ASML is the sole supplier of EUV lithography machines, so its order book is a leading indicator for how much leading-edge chip capacity can exist. Multi-year advance ordering suggests AI chip supply constraints will persist beyond the near term, reinforcing the memory and foundry pricing pressure seen elsewhere this year.
