€5 billion lower revenue guidance less than expected in 2025.

In recent quarters China has accelerated building out and equipping dozens of new fabs, so China-based companies required hundreds of new lithography tools — and ASML landed these orders. They noted that the subdued projections suggest a slower recovery in the semiconductor industry, with ongoing cyclical challenges and specific customer issues affecting future growth.
