BE Semiconductor Results Largely Positive But No Surprise -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-23

1438 GMT - BE Semiconductor's results are strong but it is up for debate whether they drive expectations higher, according to Barclays. The Dutch supplier of semiconductor assembly equipment posted stronger orders and guidance above consensus, and its comments around hybrid bonding progress are also positive, Barclays analysts say in a research note. However, the positives aren't really a surprise. "Overall, the quarter is good and developments point to further strong progress but this largely feels in line with what was expected, in our view," the analysts say. Shares trade 4.1% higher at 241.90 euros. (sarah.sloat@wsj.com)
