ASM International shares dip despite Q2 results beating expectations
** Shares in Chip-making equipment supplier ASM International fall around 2% after dropping as much as 4.5% earlier, as its Q2 results beat failed to impress investors
** ASMI raised its guidance after orders beat expectations thanks to AI-related products that outweighed a drop in Chinese sales
** But expectations and valuations are very high, KBC Securities points out in a note
** Degroof Petercam says ASMI's outlook upgrade was largely expected, and the beat in sales guidance was bigger for Q3-24 than for H2-24
** "The slope to Q3-24 is steeper than expected, while the slope to Q4-24 is milder than expected, which may be due China slowing down," Degroof says
** Order intake for all the non-AI segments appears to be sluggish, and far from former peaks, it adds
** Degroof also sees potential first cracks for leading-edge logic citing Intel's alleged cancellation of three large projects and Samsung's rumoured swap of an upcoming leading-edge logic fab for a memory fab
** AI related spending increases cannot continue indefinitely, it adds, and "when the day comes that it will go sideways, things could get nasty"
** The stock is under performing Amsterdam's AEX index, which falls 0.7%
