The move comes as ASML raised its annual sales forecast to €43–45 billion and plans a 30% production capacity expansion by 2027. The bonus is part of a broader wave of AI-boom payouts across the chip industry, with Samsung, SK Hynix, and TSMC making similar moves. At roughly €900 million total, it ranks among the largest single employee payouts in European tech history and doubles as a retention tool during ASML's restructuring and aggressive hiring phase. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
