Woofun AI reports that ASML Holding will distribute a one-time €20,000 bonus to its global workforce, driven by surging sales from artificial intelligence demand. The stock-based compensation is scheduled for issuance on January 1, 2027, with full vesting occurring in early 2030, contingent upon continuous employment throughout the period.

This initiative aligns ASML with industry peers like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, who have recently implemented similar profit-sharing measures. The move reflects broader sector trends where major beneficiaries of AI infrastructure investments are increasing employee compensation, following TSMC's pledge to raise average profit sharing by over 30% earlier this year.
