Oracle’s $20 billion AI infrastructure push has ignited a surge in demand for leading-edge chips, directly boosting expectations for ASML’s EUV tool orders.

Over the next 12–24 months, surging AI server capex will create a 'tools-first' long-tail effect, positioning ASML as the foundational enabler of the global AI hardware arms race.
