VELDHOVEN, July 16 (Reuters) - ASML, the

world's biggest supplier of computer chip-making equipment, on

Wednesday warned it may not achieve growth in 2026, even after

its second quarter bookings beat market expectations.

Analysts had hoped that the quarter would provide some

reassurance over its outlook for 2026. However, the company

warned that geopolitical uncertainty continued to cloud its

prospects.

"We continue to see increasing uncertainty driven by

macro-economic and geopolitical developments", ASML's chief

executive Christophe Fouquet said in a statement.

The Dutch group's net bookings, the most closely watched

figure in the industry, were 5.54 billion euros ($6.4 billion).

That was ahead of analysts' consensus estimate of 4.44 billion

euros according to researcher Visible Alpha.
