The volatility of customer demand continues," comments Doug Dunn, president and CEO. "In the past two weeks, the intake process has shown considerable strength and we will continue to pursue further orders through year end."
Due to uncertain market conditions, says ASML, it continues to refrain from issuing further guidance or forecasts.
