On Wednesday, European stock markets rose across the board, with the European blue chip index, the European Stoxx 50 Index, closing at a new high since May 2001. Among the constituent stocks, lithography giant Asma surged 9.72% in a single day, which is also one of the main reasons why the benchmark of the Dutch stock market, the Dutch AEX index, closed up 2.43%. Earlier that day, Asma released an overall slightly better than expected Q4 2023 report and maintained a cautiously optimistic outlook. Throughout the year 2023, Asma's revenue reached 27.5 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of over 30%; Net profit of 7.8 billion euros, with a year-on-year increase of nearly 40%. Looking ahead, Asma still maintains a "conservative view" on its 2024 performance, that is, the revenue for the 2024 fiscal year should be similar to last year. The Chief Financial Officer of the company stated in an interview video that this year will be an important year for expanding production capacity in anticipation of significant growth in 2025.
