ASML beat sales and profit estimates and raised the low end of its 2026 sales forecast as customers plan more equipment orders. Funding limits and China restrictions could slow growth, but strong demand is the clearer signal.

ASML’s lead in advanced chipmaking machines adds to that support. Funding limits could slow industry growth, and China restrictions may help local rivals. The strong sales and profit results still point more clearly toward growth.
Broadcom's CEO warned that funding could limit growth across the chip industry. The story reports no change to Broadcom's own sales or costs, so it does not show a clear change for the company.
