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.

ASM International completes Axus acquisition, launches buyback on AI demand

ASM International has completed its acquisition of Axus Technology, expanding into compound semiconductors and 3D integration, whilst announcing a new share buyback programme and proposed dividend increase. Management linked these actions to strong growth prospects driven by AI-related demand and opportunities in China's semiconductor equipment sector. Trading at approximately €682.60, ASM International has delivered a 23.3% return year to date and 46.7% over the past year. The company currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 42.6 times, below the semiconductor industry average of 49.5 times, whilst maintaining a 23.9% net income margin. The acquisition and capital return plans signal management's focus on both business expansion and direct shareholder returns in the semiconductor equipment market.

ASM International beats Q4 with €800M bookings as China orders recover and Q1 outlook rises

ASM International reported preliminary Q4 2025 results with approximately €800 million in bookings and €698 million in revenue, exceeding earlier guidance. The semiconductor equipment maker benefited from recovering Chinese orders, strong advanced logic and foundry demand, and elevated services activity. The company raised its Q1 2026 revenue outlook on a constant-currency basis, suggesting strengthening near-term momentum. However, risks remain around China exposure and customer concentration. ASM's narrative projects €4.6 billion revenue and €1.1 billion earnings by 2028, requiring 12% annual revenue growth. Fair value estimates from the Simply Wall St Community range widely from €216 to €800 per share, reflecting divergent views on the company's prospects in atomic layer deposition and epitaxy tools for advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
