✅ 📈 🚀 👇 BREAKING: ASM International Q1 financial results are out!
$ASM.AS
👉 Summary: Solid Q1 results at high end guidance with very strong gross margin and record operating margin. Q2 guide approx. 10% above consensus. Outlook for 2026 H2 > H1, above css as well.
AI-demand clearly accelerating further. Memory demand solid. China mature segment accelerating as well.
ICYMI - Unfortunately, no more quarterly bookings/backlog, as announced with FY2025 results in March. Same as ASML. We will get a sales breakdown half-yearly and annual instead.
👉 Q1-2026 results
✅ Revenue: €863 million ( 16% at cc)
📊 Guidance: €830 mil
🔎 Analyst estimates: €836 million
✅ Gross margin: 53.3%
🔎 Analyst estimates: 50,1%
✅ Adj. EBIT: €286 million
🔎 Analyst estimates: €244 million
“Revenue was led by logic/foundry, with continued strength in the leading-edge segment and a sequential strong rebound in mature logic/foundry sales in China“
👉 Outlook Q2-2026
📊 Revenue €980 million ( /-5%)
🔎 Analyst estimates: €892 million
“At constant currency, we project revenue to increase to €980 million /-5% in Q2 2026, and we continue to anticipate revenue in the second half of 2026 to be higher than in the first half. Our view is unchanged that advanced logic/foundry will be the main driver of our business this year, as customers are stepping up spending at today’s leading-edge nodes, in addition to pilot-line investments for the 1.4nm node which are expected to start in the second half of the year. Furthermore, we expect year-on-year growth from China. Memory sales are projected to show healthy growth in 2026, even though with a smaller share than logic/foundry. In the power/analog/wafer segment, we still anticipate a gradual recovery in 2026 from a low base."
👉 Outlook 2026
📊 H2 > H1 with H1 estimate around €1.84B so above css
🔎 Analyst consensus 2026: €3,69 billion
Commentary:
"End‑market demand continues to be primarily driven by AI, even as the broader backdrop has become more uncertain amid the Middle East conflict, rising energy prices, and potential implications for global GDP growth. With AI adoption broadening and workloads for new use cases scaling up rapidly, compute capacity is increasingly becoming the main constraint, driving accelerated investment in AI infrastructure. Within semiconductors, this is translating into tighter capacity requirements for advanced logic/foundry and memory devices, increasing both customer investments and the urgency for tool deliveries. In this environment, our priority is to continue supporting our customers’ expansion plans, even as the surge in demand is putting increasing pressure on the supply chain.
Momentum in advanced logic/foundry remained strong. In memory, demand was solid, largely for the most advanced DRAM device technologies used in HBM‑related applications. Demand in China accelerated, primarily in the mature logic/foundry segment."
