<li>ASML reported 1Q26: just inline. 2Q26 guidance: just inline. Management revised up 2026 revenue guidance by 4%. Consensus has already revised up. Maybe flat margins is a disappointment.</li>
<li>After ~60 EUV machines sold in 2026, management is targeting ~80 in 2027, with higher ASP. Capacity at ~90 EUV machines – let’s say that’s for 2028.</li>
<li>The stock is trading at 44x ‘26 EPS (20% EPS growth in ’26), 34x ’27 (30% EPS growth in ’27). Probably that’s why the stock is down -5% now</li>
