LSE:VLN 10 December 2025

June 29, 2026, 1:48 AM EDT. Dutch semiconductor firm ASML, currently the world's 20th-largest company with a market cap near $693 billion, is forecast to reach $1 trillion by 2028. The company dominates lithography equipment for chip manufacturing, holding a 90% market share. ASML's extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology is critical for leading chipmakers like Samsung, Intel, and Taiwan Semiconductor. Analysts cite a 15-19% annual growth rate over five years contributing to the firm's rapidly expanding market cap during the global AI boom. With chip demand set to exceed $1 trillion by 2030, ASML's revenue estimates range from $50 billion to $83 billion by then. Its unique position and competitive moat make ASML a top contender to join the exclusive $1 trillion valuation group within two years.
