China's launch of a homegrown type of advanced lithography chip printing machine is spotlighting how European chip tool maker ASML , whose recent share price surge made it Europe's most valuable listed company, is being squeezed between two sides.

ASML shares continued to decline in premarket trading on Tuesday after suffering heavy losses in the previous session, as investor concerns over China's progress in semiconductor equipment manufacturing weighed on sentiment. The Dutch chip equipment maker was down 4% before the opening bell after closing nearly 6% lower on Monday, following a report that China has begun manufacturing domestically developed immersion deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines.

The company still holds a significant edge in production capabilities compared with Chinese counterparts, an analyst says.

CXMT had a strong public debut in Shanghai, and now investors are weighing the prospect of a manufacturing breakthrough that could make China's chip industry more competitive.

Shares of major chipmakers fell sharply on Monday after reports that a state-backed Chinese firm has begun mass-producing domestic deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines. ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:ASML, XETRA:ASME) dropped more than 7% as China's progress in domestic DUV production threatens the Dutch company's sales of older-generation tools in the region.

Shares of Dutch semiconductor equipment giant ASML fell sharply on Monday after a report said China has begun manufacturing domestically developed immersion deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines, a milestone that could reduce the country's dependence on Western chipmaking equipment as export restrictions tighten. According to The Information, the state-backed machines are expected to be delivered later this year to leading Chinese semiconductor manufacturers, including Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC), Hua Hong Semiconductor and ChangXin Memory Technologies.

ASML Holding (ASML) shows that AI has now re-energized its AI game plan, providing multi-year clarity in its net system sales outlook. ASML's forward earnings multiple has dropped near 30x, below its five-year average, making valuation more attractive amid persistent AI-driven demand. High NA EUV systems are finally gaining traction, now >15% of total EUV revenue.

China has begun manufacturing domestically developed immersion deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines, a key chipmaking tool long dominated by Dutch supplier ASML , The Information reported on Monday.

ASML reports transactions under its current share buyback program VELDHOVEN, the Netherlands – ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) reports the following transactions, conducted under ASML's current share buyback program.

The semiconductor market, which has significantly outperformed the broader market in 2026 is seeing a pullback in July. The factors driving this rise include aggressive profit-taking, valuation concerns, and unwinding leveraged trades following a historic AI-fueled rally.
