1153 GMT - ASML Holding should post a strong set of fourth-quarter orders when the Dutch chip-making equipment supplier reports earnings on Jan. 28, JPMorgan's Sandeep Deshpande writes in a note. Deshpande is forecasting orders of about 7 billion euros, driven by clients like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Samsung Electronics. Last year's fourth quarter is the final for which ASML will report orders. The group said it would stop reporting quarterly orders as of 2026 because the metric doesn't necessarily reflect its performance. Deshpande says the figure will be a key focus among investors as orders booked in the fourth quarter offer a glimpse into what ASML will be shipping to customers in 2027. ASML shares trade 1% lower at 1,091.20 euros. (mauro.orru@wsj.com)
