Investing.com -- Investors are looking forward to the first-quarter earnings report of ASML (AS: ASML ), a computer chip equipment manufacturer, to gain insight into the potential risks posed by the tariffs planned by U.S. President Donald Trump on the semiconductor industry.
The announcement is due on Wednesday.
President Trump has exempted semiconductor equipment manufacturers, including ASML, from the initial 10% tariffs on Sunday. This move comes as he is preparing to impose a sector-wide tariff on chips.
In the semiconductor industry, net bookings are a crucial figure. For the first quarter of the year, these are projected to hit 4.89 billion euros ($5.56 billion), based on estimates gathered by research firm Visible Alpha.
