(RTTNews) - Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML Holding N.V. reported Wednesday higher profit and sales in its fourth quarter, but weak margin and bookings. ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Wennink said, "We continue to see uncertainty in the market caused by inflation, rising interest rates, risk of recession and geopolitical developments related to export controls. For 2023, ASML expects continued strong growth with a net sales increase of more than 25 percent and a slight improvement in gross margin, relative to 2022.
