Market Chatter: ASML Price Hike Risks Clash with Top Client TSMC

MT Newswires Live07:45

Nasdaq-listed ASML intends to increase equipment prices, potentially straining relations with its biggest customer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing or TSMC (TPE:2330), which has already voiced concerns over costs, The Information reported on Thursday.

TSMC has begun resisting the proposed hike, reflecting broader industry friction between expanding production and controlling expenses, the publication said.

ASML declined to comment, but directed MT Newswires to a recording of its Q2 earnings call that addressed the topic of pricing. Taiwan Semiconductor did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
