- cinntaile 4y agoWe were in a massive boom before, it is probably in their best interest to not try and increase their production facilities at a too fast pace. Building out facilities that are, after the boom, underutilized is not wise is a capital heavy industry such as this one.
- flakeoil 4y agoSure, but the parent I commented on said "Building their machines takes a long time" as a reason for not building it out. Which I think is a bad reason. I agree with you that the need maybe will not be there exactly when they have built out. Also note that TSMC, Intel and a whole bunch of others are currently starting to build, or plan to build, new fabs (partly due to the new Chip Act). And they will need stuff from ASML.
