Besi (ISIN NL0012866412) was trading at EUR 157.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026 at 10:08 a.m. CEST, 51.96 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 328.40. MarketScreener carried Besi's October 19, 2026 announcement of transactions under the share repurchase program.

Repurchases meet a tougher valuation debate

The announcement arrives before Besi publishes third-quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2026. Besi said on October 15, 2026 that the release is scheduled for October 22, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. CET, followed by a conference call at 4:00 p.m. CET.

The operating backdrop remains substantial. In the second quarter of 2026, revenue rose 68.70 percent year over year to EUR 249.90 million, while orders reached EUR 292.90 million, up 128.80 percent, according to The Inference. Gross margin for that quarter was 65.70 percent.

What does the October 22 report need to clarify?

The central question is whether advanced-packaging demand can support the valuation while hybrid-bonding adoption takes longer. Investing.com reported that UBS cut its rating from Buy to Sell on October 7, 2026 and reduced its target from EUR 370.00 to EUR 159.00. Bank of America cut its rating from Buy to Neutral on October 6 and set a EUR 212.00 target, while Barclays reduced its target from EUR 250.00 to EUR 240.00 on October 7.

Three dates frame the stock

On July 23, 2026, Besi reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 249.90 million, up 68.70 percent year over year, as covered by The Inference. On October 7, 2026, UBS lowered its target from EUR 370.00 to EUR 159.00, according to Investing.com. On October 19, 2026, Besi announced repurchase transactions, according to MarketScreener.

Dates for the next update

The next scheduled date is October 22, 2026 for third-quarter results, with the release at 7:00 a.m. CET and the webcast at 4:00 p.m. CET, according to Besi.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The EUR 157.75 quote is 51.96 percent below the EUR 328.40 52-week high, while the 52-week low is EUR 120.15. The distance from the high leaves the October 22 report as the next concrete test of order momentum and demand timing.
