ASM International (NL0000334118) was trading at EUR 759.90 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 11:02 a.m. CEST. A global semiconductor selloff linked to hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation pushed the stock lower, Investing.com reported on October 15, 2026.

Why did ASM stock fall?

The market reaction reflects valuation pressure across technology stocks rather than a new operating warning from ASM. Investing.com said September consumer prices rose 3.7 percent year over year, above a 3.6 percent consensus, while core inflation reached 2.6 percent against a 2.5 percent forecast. The report also cited an October 14, 2026 upgrade to Add from AlphaValue/Baader Europe, which did not offset the broader selling.

What supports ASM after the selloff?

ASM's operating figures provide a counterweight to the market pressure. In the first half of 2026, revenue increased 11 percent as reported to EUR 1,865.6 million, while adjusted operating profit rose 15 percent to EUR 616.4 million and adjusted operating margin improved to 33.0 percent, according to MarketScreener on September 23, 2026. The company said equipment revenue reached EUR 1,470.0 million and spares and services revenue EUR 395.6 million in the same period.
