ASM International N.V. (NL0000334118) is back in focus after a buyback update showed 18,048 shares repurchased between August 24 and August 28, 2026 at an average price of EUR 825.62, with EUR 14.9 million spent and 39.3% of the EUR 150 million program completed.
Buyback pace stays visible
The update is a concrete signal for investors because the company kept buying through five trading days, including 15,700 shares on August 24, 2026 and 208 shares on August 28, 2026. That repurchase volume compares with the program's total of EUR 150 million and shows EUR 59.0 million still not yet deployed after the reported week.
The same disclosure gives a useful operating read-through: the average repurchase price of EUR 825.62 sat below the week's top daily average of EUR 828.27 and above the week's low of EUR 818.97. For a stock that closed at EUR 808.00 on August 31, 2026, the buyback level sits above the latest close by EUR 17.62.
Historical profit base
Reuters' company data page shows full-year 2025 revenue of EUR 3.173 billion and net income of EUR 723.7 million, while 2024 revenue was EUR 2.933 billion and net income EUR 685.7 million. Revenue therefore increased by EUR 240.5 million year over year, and net income rose by EUR 38.0 million.
The same page lists operating cash flow of EUR 1.061 billion in 2025, up from EUR 897.7 million in 2024, which gives a clearer picture of the company's cash generation before the next reported quarter enters view. The 2025 gross profit of EUR 1.644 billion also marked an increase from EUR 1.481 billion a year earlier.
Product and valuation
ASM International's deposition tools remain the core product family behind that financial profile, with the company's equipment tied to chipmakers' need for advanced wafer processing and tighter performance control. That matters because the buyback is being executed while the business continues to trade at a premium valuation relative to the broad market.
As of August 31, 2026, ASM International traded at EUR 808.00 on Euronext Amsterdam, after a move of -17.80 points and -2.16% in the latest session. The shares also traded within a 52-week range of EUR 808.00 to EUR 851.60, leaving the current level close to the bottom of that band.
