ASML Surges On AI Orders: 2026 Growth Locked In?

ASML delivered a blowout Q4, reinforcing confidence that 2026 will be another growth year, according to its CEO. Q4 net sales hit a record €9.7B, including revenue from two High-NA EUV systems, while orders surged to €13.2B, nearly double consensus. EUV orders alone reached €7.4B, lifting backlog to €38.8B as AI-driven data center spending accelerates from customers like Microsoft and Meta Platforms. Shares jumped up to 10% in after-hours trading. Is ASML entering a multi-year AI capex supercycle? After the sharp rally, do you chase ASML’s momentum—or wait for a pullback?

In January 2026, ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) delivered a financial performance that effectively silenced skeptics of the AI "bubble." The Dutch lithography giant reported a massive surge in orders, driven by the insatiable global demand for artificial intelligence hardware. As the sole provider of the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines required to manufacture the world’s most advanced semiconductors, ASML remains the "gatekeeper" of the digital age. Below is an in-depth analysis of the recent surge, the technical drivers behind it, and what it means for the 2026 semiconductor landscape. 1. The Record-Breaking Numbers The headline from ASML’s Q4 2025 earnings report (released late January 2026) was a staggering €13.2 billion ($15.8 billion) in net bookings. To put this in perspecti

In long term the reshoring of cutting-edge chip manufacturing on American soil will affect TSMC's earning. The restoring also weaken TSMC's competitiveness
TSMC's record capital expenditure of $52-56 billion in 2026 is primarily aimed at expanding capacity to meet surging AI chip demand. Despite this significant investment, advanced-node supply is expected to lag demand for years. TSMC's Pricing Power TSMC is well-positioned to maintain and even increase its pricing power despite rising investment intensity. Dominant Market Position: TSMC is the world's largest contract chipmaker and dominates advanced chip fabrication, holding a 72% share in the global foundry market and over 90% market share for advanced AI chips. High Demand for Advanced Nodes: Demand for TSMC's 3nm process technology continuously exceeds supply, leading to sold-out fabrication lines and customers paying premiums for expedited manufacturing. TSMC has temporarily halted new

Top Movers: Alibaba Surged +13% While Pop Mart Fell -9% Last Week

Hong Kong equities mostly edged lower on Friday (16 Jan) as investors locked in gains, following an earlier surge after a robust earnings outlook from TSMC that strengthened confidence in sustained AI-driven demand and boosted global risk appetite. $HSTECH(HSTECH)$ still advanced 2.37% for the week, while the $HSI(HSI)$ gained 2.34%. With the market failing to break above the recent highs in Oct/Nov last year, HSI continues to be resisted at around the 27,200 level; a breakout above this level would signal that the recent upward price movement has extended beyond prior consolidation, while price hesitation at this zone could indicate that the market remains in a consolidation phase.

I will go for option C. Intel price has run too far ahead of its value. Market is positioning Intel for its potential future success of its foundry services to take on TSMC. It's not even in the AMD space. US government's involvement is already priced in from the recent price spike. Now is the time for delivery however there is simply not enough time for Intel to do just that. Therefore market will be in for a reality check when it announces its latest results. Of course, this is only my take. Market could be irrational for longer than necessary, as could be seen in $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$
