ASM International N.V. (ISIN NL0000334118) was trading at EUR 766.50 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026, at 10:31 a.m. CEST, 0.12 percent above the Xetra close of October 15, 2026 at EUR 765.60. Investing.com reported that hotter US inflation helped trigger a global semiconductor selloff on October 15.

The October selloff had a clear trigger

ASM fell 8.60 percent during the October 15 session, touched EUR 735.60 and later traded at EUR 754.20, according to Investing.com. The report linked the pressure to US September consumer prices rising 3.70 percent year over year, above the 3.60 percent consensus, while an AlphaValue and Baader Europe upgrade to Add on October 14 provided a counterweight.

Three dated events shape the setup

On July 28, 2026, ASM's interim report showed first-half revenue of EUR 1.8656 billion, up 11.00 percent as reported and 20.00 percent at constant currency, while adjusted operating profit reached EUR 616.40 million, up 15.00 percent year over year, according to MarketScreener. On September 22, ASM launched its XP8 Vertos Flowable Carbon process for three-dimensional chip scaling, as GlobeNewswire reported. The October 15 selloff was the latest event, with the stock reaching EUR 735.60 during the session.

What does the next report test?

The third-quarter release will test whether the first-half growth profile can continue after second-quarter revenue reached EUR 1.0031 billion and net income reached EUR 285.40 million. ASM's adjusted first-half operating margin was 33.00 percent, compared with 31.90 percent a year earlier, giving investors a concrete profitability benchmark for the next update.
