Global Chip Stocks Erase $420 Billion After ASML Sales Warning

-- Investors in chip stocks are facing a fresh gut check after a tepid outlook from key equipment supplier ASML Holding NV sparked a global rout in the sector.Combined market value losses for an index of US-traded chipmakers plus the largest Asian stocks reached more than $420 billion. Shares in ASML extended losses on Wednesday, falling 5.0%.

While a weak 2025 forecast was expected from ASML given slowness in non-AI applications as well as reduced spending by Intel Corp. and other factors, “the magnitude of the correction is a negative surprise,” Atif Malik, an analyst at Citigroup Inc., wrote in a note. Despite the market reaction, some investors see ASML’s woes as possibly specific to the Dutch company. AI demand remains brisk and Beijing’s efforts to revive its economy are seen helping a broader recovery.
