** Shares in European chip stocks are hit by ASML's ASML.AS Q2 report, as the world's biggest supplier of computer chip-making equipment said it may not achieve growth in 2026

** STOXX Europe Technology index .SX8P falls 1.1%, among the worst performers on the wider STOXX 600 index .STOXX

** "What happens to ASML happens to most of the other wafer fab equipment companies as well. Not only the European names, but also the Japanese and the American names," Roeg adds

** Chip-making equipment suppliers BE Semiconductor BESI.AS and ASMI ASMI.AS fall 2.5% and 3.5%, respectively
