ASM International's Stock Hits New All-Time High at 760 Euros
ASM International reaches a new peak this Tuesday, driven by a bullish momentum that has been strong for several weeks. The stock of the Dutch semiconductor deposition equipment specialist increased by 2.4% to 760 euros, surpassing its previous all-time high.
Remarkable Performance Across All Time Horizons
ASM International's stock shows remarkable performance across all time horizons: nearly a 13% increase over seven days, more than 22% over three months, and a doubling in value over one year. This rally now places the price well above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which are at 691.88 euros and 524.41 euros respectively, indicating the strength of the buying trend. However, the Bollinger Bands signal caution. The current price of 760 euros exceeds the upper limit set at 744.15 euros, standing at 117% of the band. This configuration suggests a potential overbought situation, which sometimes precedes a consolidation phase. The resistance at 737.60 euros has been clearly surpassed, while the support is significantly lower, at 642 euros. The semiconductor sector is performing well this Tuesday, with ASML up by 2.94% and STMicroelectronics by 2.07%, in a supportive European environment with the CAC 40 up by 0.60% and the DAX gaining 0.94% during the session.
Financial Calendar and Upcoming Events
ASM International's financial calendar schedules the release of the first quarter 2026 results on April 21, exactly one week from now. This date is the next major event for shareholders, who will closely monitor the dynamics of orders and the outlook related to the demand for advanced lithography and thin-film deposition equipment. The general meeting is scheduled for May 11, followed by the accounts for the second quarter on July 28. The stock's acceleration ahead of this quarterly release occurs as the Nikkei 225 closed up 2.43% in Tokyo and the S&P 500 ended at 6,886.24 points, up by 1.02% at the close of the day. The backdrop remains favorable for the chip industry, although the approach of the results might prompt some operators to secure their gains after such a sustained run. On the American side, sector stocks to watch include Micron Technology, Advanced Micro Devices, and Lam Research.
