ASM International Surpasses Market Expectations with Strong Bookings

ASM International's Quarterly Performance

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Computer chip equipment maker ASM International on Monday reported preliminary bookings above market expectations for the fourth quarter of 2025, backed by a rebound in orders from China.

Strong Order Intake from China

Quarterly order intake grew to about 800 million euros ($930 million), the Dutch company said in an unscheduled statement, beating analysts' 669-million-euro forecast, according to a poll by Visible Alpha.

Revenue Exceeds Analyst Projections

"The stronger-than-expected bookings were driven by a rebound in orders from China toward the end of the quarter as well as solid bookings in the advanced logic/foundry segment," ASM said.

Impact of Previous Quarter's Results

The company's preliminary revenue was 698 million euros, also topping an LSEG poll estimate of 656 million euros.

In October, ASM's third-quarter results were hurt by a larger than expected drop from China, the world's largest buyer of chipmaking equipment.
