signal brief

As of July 22, 2026, a series of prediction market questions on Manifold Markets indicate sustained confidence in ASML's dominance in EUV lithography. The market assigns 96.17% probability that ASML remains a monopoly in EUV systems through end of 2024 (Source 9), 79.92% through end of 2026 (Source 1), and 70.76% through end of 2027 (Source 4). Additionally, the probability that ASML's revenue increases every year for the next 5 years stands at 83.77% (Source 3). On the downside, the market shows a 50% chance that the US forces ASML to halt exports to China before 2029 (Source 8), and a 43.06% chance of ASML being cut off from Cymer before 2030 (Source 5). However, the probability that China develops a domestic EUV tool by 2030 is only 56.45% (Source 7). These probabilities suggest that ASML's competitive moat is perceived as durable, which is positive for ASML but carries medium-term regulatory risk. The data is from a single prediction market platform, hence low confidence.
