ASM International designs and supplies equipment and technologies for semiconductor fabrication, focusing on thin-film deposition processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD). Its products are used in making microchips by depositing ultra-thin material layers with precise control at the atomic level, enabling smaller and more powerful devices. The company built a global footprint through operations in the Netherlands, the US, Hong Kong, and Japan, and separated ASML Lithography (a joint venture with Philips) to focus on deposition while ASML develops photolithography systems. In recent years, ASM has sharpened its strategy around ALD, a process that creates uniformly thin layers one atomic layer at a time, allowing continued scaling of semiconductor devices. The goal is to be a core supplier of deposition technology and tools that enable chip manufacturers to produce smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient semiconductors.

- Record €355 million free cash flow funds buybacks, dividends, and Arizona capex.
- Chris Figee joins as CFO in November 2026, strengthening financial discipline before 2027.
What critics are saying
- China sales still matter; tighter U.S. export controls hit mature logic orders fast.

- At 42.6x earnings, any 2027 booking miss can compress the stock sharply.
What makes ASM International unique

Company News
ASM International NV reported record Q2 2026 revenue of EUR1 billion, marking a 24% year-on-year increase at constant currency and exceeding guidance of EUR980 million. The semiconductor equipment manufacturer achieved a gross margin of 51.9% and an adjusted operating margin of 33%. Equipment sales grew 22% year-on-year at constant currency, driven by record atomic layer deposition (ALD) sales. Spares and services revenue surged 34% year-on-year at constant currency. The company generated record free cash flow of EUR355 million, supported by strong profitability and improved working capital management. Cash position stood at EUR1.2 billion at quarter end. ASM projects Q3 revenue of EUR1.1 billion and expects second-half revenue to exceed first-half results by over 20%. The company now anticipates 2026 revenue will surpass EUR4 billion, above its previous guidance range.
ASM International forecast third-quarter revenue of about €1.1 billion ($1.25 billion) at constant exchange rates, plus or minus 5%, exceeding analysts' average estimate of €994.5 million. The Dutch semiconductor equipment maker cited strong demand from customers investing in artificial intelligence infrastructure. AI-related spending has helped offset weakness in automotive, PC and memory markets. Chief Executive Hichem M'Saad said the demand environment remained highly favourable in the second quarter, driven by sustained investment in AI infrastructure to support rapidly expanding compute workloads. Europe's second-largest semiconductor equipment maker reported second-quarter revenue of €1 billion, above analysts' expectations of €977.7 million.
ASM International has named telecom executive Chris Figee as its incoming Chief Financial Officer, subject to shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting in 2027. The appointment comes as the semiconductor equipment maker's shares trade at €964.4, close to analyst fair value estimates of around €1,026. The stock has delivered strong returns, with year-to-date gains of 74.14% and five-year total shareholder returns of 250.72%. Analysts attribute the company's valuation to expanding demand for advanced logic nodes driven by AI and high-performance computing requirements. However, risks remain if China-related restrictions tighten or key customers delay equipment spending. The shares recently declined 1.15% in one day and 0.76% over seven days.
Chris Figee will step down as Chief Financial Officer of Dutch telecom operator KPN on 1 November 2026 to join semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASM International as CFO and Management Board member. Figee has served as KPN's CFO since February 2020. During his tenure, the company delivered strong financial performance whilst investing significantly in fibre and 5G infrastructure and digital innovation. Gerard van de Aast, Chair of KPN's Supervisory Board, praised Figee's contributions to strategic initiatives including Glaspoort and Althio, as well as the growth of KPN's Wholesale segment. Figee expressed pride in the company's achievements and committed to ensuring a smooth transition. KPN's Supervisory Board will begin searching for his successor.
