A great reflection on learning, collaboration and making impact!
In San Diego, part of our collaboration with external R&D partners involves working with universities to provide student capstone projects. For the past several years, we’ve asked a team of talented undergraduate students from the University of Arizona to put their critical thinking and research capabilities to the test in a real-world semiconductor industry environment. Erik shares his experience as a mentor to these students.
At ASML, progress starts with our people. In this Fairygodboss feature, Brianna LaBarge, Operational Excellence Program Manager, shares her career journey and how she helps drive operational excellence in a highly innovative manufacturing environment.
Jamie’s story is a powerful example of what’s possible at ASML. In his article, Jamie shares how persistence, hands‑on problem-solving and continuous learning helped him grow alongside ASML’s rapid expansion.
We’re excited to spotlight Nire, whose career journey represents the opportunities created by ASML’s growth in Phoenix. His story shows how hands‑on experience, collaboration and continuous learning drive career growth at the cutting edge of chipmaking.
🚨 Today we reported our Q4 2025 and full-year 2025 financial results! 👇 📈 Our full-year 2025 total net sales were €32.7 billion, including €9.7 billion in the fourth quarter — a particularly strong period for ASML that included the revenue recognized for two High NA systems. 🤝 "In the last months, many of our customers have shared a notably more positive assessment of the medium-term market situation, primarily based on more robust expectations of the sustainability of AI-related demand. This is reflected in a marked step-up in their medium-term capacity plans and in our record order intake,” said ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Christophe Fouquet. ➡️ "Therefore, we expect 2026 to be another growth year for ASML's business, largely driven by a significant increase in EUV sales and growth in our installed base business sales” Fouquet said. “We continue to invest in people and footprint to support that growth in 2026 and beyond.” 📊 In 2026, we expect first-quarter total net sales between €8.2 billion and €8.9 billion. We expect R&D costs of around €1.2 billion and SG&A costs of around €0.3 billion. 🔉 “For the full year 2026, we expect total net sales to be between €34 billion and €39 billion, with a gross margin between 51% and 53%," Fouquet said.
How do chipmakers examine the quality of the tiny features they print using our lithography machines? Eric Ma (head of HMI Applications Design & Engineering at ASML in San Jose) explains how our e-beam metrology and inspection systems and machine learning models can accomplish this. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-electron-beams-machine-learning-critical-advanced-long-eric-ma-a6amc/
🚨 We recently announced a strategic partnership with Mistral AI. Under this long-term collaboration agreement, we will work together to add Mistral AI’s expertise into our product and development processes, with the goal of enhancing our products and solutions for the benefit of our global customer base. ASML is also investing €1.3 billion in Mistral AI’s Series C funding round as lead investor, to support the collaboration and reinforce the partnership benefits. We believe that this collaboration between ASML and Mistral AI will allow us to innovate faster together, and aims to generate clear benefits for our customers through innovative products and solutions enabled by AI.
