A record high driven by a global sectoral momentum
By crossing the threshold of 769 euros this morning, ASM International set a new all-time high and confirmed the acceleration seen in recent weeks. The stock has now surged more than 26% over three months and 99.48% over a year, showing an exceptional performance for the supplier of lithography and thin film deposition equipment. This surge is not isolated, as European sector peers are also performing well: ASML Holding is up by 1.20% and STMicroelectronics by 1.74%. In the US, the previous day’s results were also positive: Micron Technology surged by 9.17%, Advanced Micro Devices by 3.34%, and Lam Research by 1.90% at the close. The DAX is trading around 24,056 points, with a marginal increase of 0.05%. The immediate horizon holds a significant catalyst: the results for the first quarter of 2026 are expected on April 21, in less than a week. The general meeting is scheduled for May 11.
Technical signals under pressure after the recent surge
Technically, the breakthrough of this historical peak comes with mixed signals. The current price of 769.20 euros is well above the upper Bollinger band set at 744.15 euros, indicating a potential overbought situation. Additionally, the 50-day moving average stands at 691.88 euros, marking an over 11% difference from the current level, confirming the extent of the short-term bullish movement. The 200-day moving average, set at 524.41 euros, reflects the long-term upward trend. However, the RSI is currently at 39, a level usually associated with selling pressure rather than overbuying. This discrepancy between a moderate RSI and a price above the Bollinger bands may reflect the sharpness of the recent rebound after a consolidation phase. The previously identified resistance level of 737.60 euros has been clearly exceeded, while the major support is at 642 euros, far from the current levels. The upcoming quarterly reports could be a crucial factor in determining the future trajectory of the stock.
