Market Focus
Sep 03

On September 3, ASMPT rose 3.05% in regular trading, trading at HK$162.0 per share, with turnover of approximately HK$106 million. The stock rebounded after two consecutive sessions of decline totaling roughly 6%, driven by short-term oversold conditions following profit-taking pressure.

The prior sell-off was triggered by a discrepancy between the company's continuing operations adjusted net profit of HK$973 million — up 230.5% year-over-year — and the consolidated adjusted net profit of only HK$806 million after stripping out the divested NEXX business in June. Additionally, major shareholder The Capital Group reduced its stake from 9.17% to 8.75% in late July, adding to cautious sentiment.

Multiple investment banks have maintained bullish ratings well above the current price. Bank of America Securities reiterated a Buy rating with a HK$310 target; JPMorgan maintained Overweight with a HK$225 target; and CCB International raised its target to HK$191. Second-quarter book-to-bill ratio remained at a five-year high, underpinning the fundamental recovery thesis.
