0939 GMT - BE Semiconductor shares trade higher after the Dutch semiconductor-equipment maker posted a 3% rise in order intake as part of otherwise weaker results. The increase reflects more bookings from Asian subcontractors for AI related data-center applications, UBS analysts write in a note. Orders for hybrid bonding--a technology to connect chips--in particular will likely please investors, the analysts say. Shares are up 10.5% at 103 euros. (najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
