Market Focus08-10

On August 10, ASMPT rose 3.09% in regular trading, trading at 166.9 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 304 million. The stock regained upward momentum after prior profit-taking pressure was largely digested.

On the news front, the semiconductor equipment sector staged a collective rebound this week, with institutions noting that strong earnings are supporting the sector's entry into a recovery channel, with a bullish outlook on second-half advanced packaging demand. Additionally, BlackRock recently raised its long position ratio in ASMPT to 5.18%, sending a clear signal of continued foreign capital accumulation.

For context, ASMPT reported robust Q2 results on July 28, with adjusted net profit of HKD 638 million exceeding market expectations by 76%, revenue of HKD 4.94 billion surpassing guidance, and an order-to-shipment ratio of 1.43x. Multiple major banks subsequently raised target prices, with Citi at HKD 250, JPMorgan at HKD 225, and Bank of America at HKD 310, all maintaining buy-equivalent ratings.
