1014 GMT - ASM International's better-than-expected fourth-quarter orders and sales should move consensus forecasts higher this year, JPMorgan analysts write in a note to clients. The Dutch chip-making equipment supplier said orders climbed to roughly 800 million euros, beating company expectations of slightly above 636.8 million euros recorded in the third quarter. Meanwhile, revenue in the fourth quarter came in at 698 million euros, exceeding company guidance between 630 million and 660 million euros. The analysts say they expect consensus forecasts to move higher with a low to mid single-digit percentage sales increase and a higher earnings increase. ASM International shares trade 0.4% higher at 692 euros. (mauro.orru@wsj.com)
