About the company
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.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Q2 2026 revenue reached €1.0 billion, up 24% year over year.
- Management guided Q3 2026 revenue to €1.1 billion and H2 above H1 by 20%.
- 2027 revenue should exceed €4.6 billion, driven by AI infrastructure spending.
What critics are saying
- China mature-logic demand depends on export-control distortions, not durable secular growth.
- Local competitors in China already pressure pricing and threaten share in 2026.
- Applied Materials and NAURA can displace ASM if customers standardize alternative deposition stacks.
What makes ASM International unique
- ASM owns more than 55% of ALD market, with record Q2 2026 ALD sales.
- Its 2nm and 1.4nm wins embed ASM in leading-edge logic ramps.
- Spares and services grew 34% in Q2 2026, creating recurring revenue.
