Besi stock: AI orders rise as hybrid-bonding adoption broadens

- Third-quarter orders rose ahead of revenue as AI and advanced-packaging demand strengthened.
- Hybrid-bonding demand has expanded across logic, memory, co-packaged optics and edge AI applications.
- Delivery timing and customer production plans could keep fourth-quarter revenue broadly stable.
BE Semiconductor Industries, known as Besi, reported strong third-quarter and nine-month operating trends in results released on October 22, 2026. The latest update adds a clearer view of order momentum, delivery timing and the near-term margin outlook.
Ad Hoc News reported that Besi received orders worth 342.6 million euros in the third quarter, up 17.0 percent from the second quarter and 96.1 percent from the year-earlier period. Revenue reached 283.4 million euros, while nine-month orders rose 108.3 percent to 905.2 million euros and revenue increased 69.0 percent to 718.1 million euros.
AI Demand Meets Delivery Timing
Hybrid bonding remains central to the growth case. Besi said first-nine-month hybrid-bonding orders had more than doubled compared with all of fiscal 2025, with cumulative demand exceeding 215 systems. Adoption has broadened across logic, memory, co-packaged optics and edge AI applications.
The order strength does not translate one-for-one into immediate sales. Customers have asked to align deliveries of some third-quarter orders with production-capacity plans for the first half of 2027. Besi therefore expects fourth-quarter revenue to be flat to plus or minus 5 percent against the third-quarter level.
Margins And Buyback In Focus
Gross margin is forecast at 63 to 65 percent, below the third-quarter level of 65.2 percent. Operating expenses are expected to rise 5 to 10 percent, mainly because of higher strategic consulting costs. Besi has also initiated a 100 million euro share repurchase program.
Besi stock traded at 150.70 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:01 CET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 2.41 percent above the 147.15-euro quote in the latest relevant report published on Monday, November 9, at 17:41 CET. The comparison is against that report's quote, not against a Xetra closing price.
