ASM International N.V. (NL0000334118) stock fell 6.6 percent to EUR 775 on September 14, 2026, after opening at EUR 800. The move came as TradingView said the company's EUR 150 million buyback launched on August 10, 2026, was 84.9 percent complete after trades from August 31 to September 4, 2026.

Buyback pace matters

According to TradingView, ASM International said the repurchase program reached 84.9 percent completion after the August 31 to September 4 trading window. The same recap said the company plans to nominate semiconductor veteran Dr. Rutger Wijburg to the Supervisory Board, with shareholder approval at an EGM expected in March 2027.

The buyback was launched on August 10, 2026. That leaves 15.1 percent of the EUR 150 million program still to go, a concrete capital-return marker for investors watching the stock into the final quarter of 2026.

Sector pressure hits

According to Investing.com, the stock had already opened at EUR 800 before sliding to EUR 775, while the article said Jefferies has kept a Sell rating since early August. It also said the shares broke a medium-term uptrend channel and showed a strong daily technical sell signal.

That mix of a 6.6 percent intraday drop, a EUR 25 gap from the open to the low, and persistent analyst caution explains why the chart remains the first thing traders are watching. The stock also stood below its 52-week high of EUR 1,092.50 cited in the same report.
