ASMPT (00522) rose more than 5% in Hong Kong trading. At the time of writing, the stock was up 5.53% to HK$110.7, with a turnover of HK$89.4897 million. The increase follows a research report from JPMorgan, which added ASMPT to its Positive Catalyst Watch list. This decision was based on strong capital expenditure trends in the advanced logic packaging sector and initial signs of improvement in the mainstream Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) market. JPMorgan also raised its earnings per share forecasts for ASMPT for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 by 7% and 15%, respectively. The firm expects ASMPT to upwardly revise the long-term total addressable market (TAM) expectations for its Thermal Compression Bonding (TCB) equipment and expresses confidence in the company gaining further market share. Additionally, ASMPT is anticipated to provide more updates on its progress in the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) TCB market. The report also noted that the capital expenditure environment in China and among mainstream OSAT providers is becoming more favorable.
