    ASML Faces Domestic Chinese DUV Competition; China Revenue Share Drops

    Question

    ASML Faces Domestic Chinese DUV Competition; China Revenue Share Drops

    Direct answer

    The emergence of a Chinese-made DUV system validates fears that export controls would accelerate Chinese self-sufficiency. While ASML maintains a monopoly on the more advanced EUV systems required for sub-5nm chips, DUV remains the workhorse for automotive and industrial chips. The rapid decline in China revenue share (from 41% to 16%) suggests that the 'de-risking' of ASML's top line is happening faster than anticipated, shifting the investment thesis entirely to the adoption rate of High-NA EUV by Intel, TSMC, and Samsung.
