STOCK INFO

ASMPT (00522.HK)  -1.100 (-1.006%)    Short selling $9.79M; Ratio 8.271%   is considering divesting its Surface Mount Technology (SMT) solutions business so as to focus more on end-market businesses and amplify investment in areas where the company has strengths, CEO Robin Ng mentioned, disclosing that the company has already received some acquisition interest.

Last quarter, the group's gross margin fell by 101 bps YoY to 35.8%. Ng pointed out that the group's gross margin is expected to improve in 1Q26, given heightened sales of TCB and high-end die bonding machines, which will drive the semiconductor solutions segment's gross margin back to the mid-range at 40%. However, owing to the continued weakness in the automotive and industrial end markets, the gross margin of the SMT solutions segment will remain at a similar level.
