On August 6, ASMPT fell 3.44% in regular trading, trading at 160.2 HKD/share, with turnover of approximately 17.10 million HKD, pulling back after consecutive sessions of strong rebounds.
On the news front, global AI-related tech stocks faced broad profit-taking as investor concerns over stretched valuations and crowded positioning intensified. Funds rotated out of AI-linked sectors that had led gains in recent sessions, shifting toward consumer and high-dividend defensive plays.
Notably, ASMPT had surged since July 31 after reporting Q2 adjusted net profit of HKD 638 million, exceeding market expectations by 76%, with revenue of HKD 4.94 billion beating company guidance by 10.5%. Orders reached HKD 7.08 billion with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.43x at a five-year high. Multiple major banks subsequently raised target prices, with Citi at 250 HKD, JPMorgan at 225 HKD, and Bank of America at 310 HKD. The sharp post-earnings rally created objective short-term profit-taking pressure as traders locked in gains.
