Either incorrectly worded, or very poorly worded.

It's a open question as to which one.

language exists to convey a shared concept, you don’t think the sentence means “it’s a lot of money for ASML to risk losing?” and wouldn’t have been mentioned if it meant inconsequential or small?
Based on context + structure, I believe the sentence has a stray "not" -- the amount is not small but it is an affordable loss for ASML.
