ASML NV, Europe’s largest chip-equipment maker, won its biggest order yet for a new type of machinery the Dutch company is betting on to boost sales. The stock jumped.
ASML will deliver at least 15 extreme ultraviolet lithography machines to one of its top customers in the U.S., according to a statement from the Veldhoven, Netherlands-based company on Wednesday. Two of the machines will be delivered this year, ASML said, without giving a timing for the rest.
