ASML to Raise Chipmaking Parts Prices 10% for Samsung, SK Hynix
ASML sits 92% above its 52-week low of $935.41.
Summary
ASML will raise prices by 10% for replacement parts used in its EUV and DUV lithography systems supplied to Samsung and SK Hynix, effective January 2027. The increase covers consumable parts and major components, an unusual across-the-board hike. Services, parts, and upgrades generated €8.19B last year, about 25% of total sales, so the move directly boosts a material revenue stream. The report cites rising component costs and ASML seeking a larger share of customer profits amid AI-driven demand. This follows strong Q2 results and a raised full-year outlook, reinforcing pricing power.
