Dutch tech giant ASML Q2 net profits higher than Q2 last year The Hague, July 16 (AFP) Jul 16, 2025 Dutch tech giant ASML said Wednesday it booked higher net profits in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the same period last year despite geopolitical headwinds and tariff uncertainty. The firm, which makes cutting-edge machines for the manufacture of semiconductors, said net profits came in at 2.3 billion euros, compared with 1.6 billion euros in the second quarter of last year. However, it warned that the growth outlook for next year had darkened somewhat. "Looking at 2026, we see that our AI customers' fundamentals remain strong," said Chief Executive Officer Christophe Fouquet in a statement. "At the same time, we continue to see increasing uncertainty driven by macro-economic and geopolitical developments," he cautioned. "Therefore, while we still prepare for growth in 2026, we cannot confirm it at this stage." |
