ASMLs HighNA Chipmaking Machine Drives 8.76 Billion Trading Volume Ranking 79th in Stock Market Activity

On May 29, 2025, ASML Holdings N.V. (ASML) saw a trading volume of 8.76 billion, ranking 79th in the day's stock market activity. The company's stock price increased by 0.07%.

ASML recently unveiled its High-NA chipmaking machine, priced at $400 million, which is poised to revolutionize semiconductor manufacturing. This advanced system is expected to significantly enhance the production of smaller chips, which are crucial for modern technology. The High-NA machine is particularly important for chips smaller than 7 nanometers, a size that is becoming increasingly essential for high-performance computing and other advanced applications.

ASML's strategic advantage lies in its EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) machines, which are indispensable for producing chips smaller than 7 nanometers. The introduction of High-NA systems is expected to further push the margins higher, making ASML a key player in the semiconductor industry. The company has already shipped five of these 180-ton High-NA systems to major customers, including Intel, TSMC, and Samsung, indicating strong demand and industry acceptance.

TSMC, a major customer of ASML, is currently evaluating the High-NA machines for its future process nodes. This evaluation is crucial as TSMC is the world's largest producer of leading-edge logic chips and a key beneficiary of AI chip demand. The integration of ASML's High-NA technology could further enhance TSMC's capabilities in producing advanced semiconductors, which are in high demand due to the growing need for AI and other high-performance applications.
