ASML’s stock soared 86% in the first half of 2026 as AI-driven chip demand exploded, making the Dutch tech giant the indispensable engine behind next-gen semiconductor manufacturing.

The real momentum hit in May and June as investors recognized ASML’s critical role in powering the AI revolution — their EUV machines are the backbone of cutting-edge chips. While not a flashy growth stock, ASML’s unique market position ensures long-term relevance, with expectations of higher financial targets and sustained demand as AI infrastructure spending continues to climb.
