Today: KNDS soll ein reiner Staatskonzern werden – ASML warnt vor Lieferengpässen
Der Chipausrüster ASML präsentiert starke Quartalszahlen und eine positive Prognose. Ein Widerspruch zur jüngsten Verkaufswelle im Chipsektor. Und: KNDS geht wohl definitiv nicht an die Börse.
Chip industry uncertainty has gripped investors this week, despite ASML, the Dutch chip maker, reporting dizzying growth. The company's revenue surged more than 50% year-on-year to €11.7 billion in the third quarter, and its profit nearly doubled to around €5 billion. ASML, Europe's most valuable listed company, has now warned of supply shortages for the lithography machines it manufactures due to soaring demand.
In an exclusive podcast, Handelsblatt Chipbranchenreporter Joachim Hofer delves into the reasons behind this production bottleneck.
Meanwhile, the podcast also covers the delayed initial public offering (IPO) of the Franco-German armored vehicle manufacturer KNDS. Initial plans to list the company on July 1st have been repeatedly postponed. According to Handelsblatt's Julian Olk, the original IPO plan is no longer being pursued. Instead, KNDS is expected to transform into a state-owned enterprise, with equal stakes held by Germany and France. The reasons for the IPO setback and the new direction are discussed by Olk.
