ASML's shares rose by 7.6%, reaching a value of 500 billion dollars, supported by TSMC's results and demand for chips.

The shares of ASML have recorded a growth of up to 7.6% on the Amsterdam stock exchange, and since the beginning of the year, their value has increased by approximately 24%. ASML thus becomes the third European company to surpass the threshold of 500 billion dollars, joining LVMH and Novo Nordisk.

This growth has been driven by positive financial results and the optimistic outlook announced by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), ASML's main client and the largest chip manufacturer in the world. TSMC has estimated that its capital investments will reach 56 billion dollars by 2026, in the context of strong demand generated by artificial intelligence. ASML is the only manufacturer of advanced lithography machines, essential for producing the most sophisticated chips used by companies like Apple and Nvidia.
