ASML records 113,000 euros profit per employee and enters global top three
ASML has achieved record financial results with a quarterly profit of nearly 5 billion euros, driven by massive global demand for its chip manufacturing machines. The company has reached a 42 percent profit margin, placing it among the world's most profitable firms alongside Nvidia and TSMC.
Dutch chip machine manufacturer ASML has reached a new financial milestone, reporting a record quarterly net profit of nearly 5 billion euros and a total revenue of 11.7 billion euros. With a profit margin of 42 percent, the company now generates approximately 113,000 euros in net profit per employee. These figures place ASML in the global top three for profitability, trailing only Nvidia and TSMC. The company is struggling to keep up with intense demand, as customers are already placing orders extending into 2029 and 2030, prompting management to evaluate further production capacity increases for 2028.
To reward its approximately 44,000 employees for these stellar results, the company announced an equity package worth 20,000 euros per person, which will be fully vested after three years. While ASML plans to expand its facilities, including a new campus in Eindhoven, CEO Christophe Fouquet expects that even future capacity may fall short of total market demand. Following these positive reports and favorable forecasts for 2026, the company's stock price saw an immediate increase of 2.7 percent on the exchange.
