ASML to raise prices on chip machine parts by 10%

ASML, the Dutch company making the world's most advanced chip-making machines, is raising prices on all replacement parts for its EUV and DUV equipment by 10%. Samsung and SK hynix—major memory chipmakers—have reportedly agreed to the hike, which takes effect in January 2027. The move follows record profits by those chipmakers during recent shortages, and similar price increases are spreading to other suppliers like Applied Materials and Tokyo Electron.

Why it mattersThis is likely to increase costs for every company making advanced chips, with higher expenses potentially passed down to device buyers and data center operators. The whole industry may get caught in an ongoing round of price jumps, making everything from smartphones to AI servers pricier over time.
