ASML Stock Plunges 5% as China Segment Craters Under New Export Ban Pressure

ASML shares tumbled sharply Wednesday after the semiconductor giant warned that new export restrictions have severely impacted its China business, with the segment's contribution to net system sales shrinking significantly. The stock is down over 5%, highlighting immediate market shock over geopolitical tensions disrupting the critical chip equipment supply chain. Despite the China setback, CEO Christophe Fouquet stated that 'demand for chips is outpacing supply,' prompting customers to accelerate capacity expansion plans for 2026 and beyond, leading ASML to raise its 2026 net sales forecast to a range of $42.46 billion to $47.18 billion.
