Investing.com -- B. Riley is framing this week's second-quarter earnings reports from ASML and TSMC as "tone-setting" for the entire semiconductor and semiconductor capital equipment sector, arguing that a $880 billion surge in AI infrastructure spending has arrived roughly 12 months ahead of the firm's prior forecasts.
ASML, the biggest supplier of equipment used to manufacture AI chips, reports quarterly earnings on Wednesday looking to justify its chunky valuation and demonstrate how it will contend with U.S. moves to block exports to China. Clouding the outlook, however, is a proposed U.S. law requiring U.S. allies to align with export controls to curb China's ability to make advanced chips, with ASML named in the legislation. The company has denied selling its most advanced EUV tools to China, which is forecast to account for up to 20% of ASML's sales this year through legal purchases of less-advanced DUV tools to make chips for automotive, industrial and electronic products.

July 10 (Reuters) - European shares were muted on Friday as broader gains were largely offset by declines in technology stocks while investors assessed renewed Middle East tensions that put the
SK Hynix has raised $26.51 billion by issuing American depositary receipts in what would become the largest share sale by a non-U.S. company on Wall Street.
U.S. chip shares trade sharply lower premarket, extending the reach of a global wobble in artificial intelligence-related stocks following Samsung's quarterly update. Micron Technology and Intel fell around 6% and 4%, respectively Applied Materials and Lam Research, both major suppliers to Samsung--each lost around 5%.
The world’s second-largest memory chip maker said in a regulatory filing with the Korea Exchange on Monday that it is seeking to raise 43.141 trillion won, equivalent to $28.21 billion, by issuing American depositary receipts on the Nasdaq. Despite the downward revision, the deal would still rank among the biggest share sales in history, second only to SpaceX’s record initial public offering raising $75 billion last month. SK Hynix said it would use the offering’s proceeds to expand chip-making facilities in South Korea and purchase chip-making equipment such as ASML’s extreme ultraviolet scanners.
Shares of European semiconductor companies were following their Asian peers in green territory, a day after investors shunned stocks linked to artificial intelligence.
Chinese export controls, dependence on the U.S. for technology and the structural weakness of Europe's domestic chip industry mean it faces a "bleak future," an EU-funded report found on Thursday. The independent report by the European Union's Institute for Security Studies and French think-tank Institut Montaigne concluded that Chinese export controls on critical minerals and magnets or the risk of a war in the Taiwan Strait were major threats to supply. Further vulnerability stems from the EU's dependence on the U.S. for technology, including design software and the possibility the U.S. could block exports to China by chip-making equipment supplier ASML, Europe's most valuable company.
