ASM International/High visibility, high reward/BUY

ASM International is mostly exposed to secular technological shifts, which makes it relatively resilient to the ongoing downcycle. In our view, its key drivers are the shift to GAA, shrinkage and the use of new materials. We expect all of these to remain strong and, as such, ASM should continue to strongly outperform the sector. We reiterate our BUY rating but lower our target price to €650 (from €750) following lower near-term estimates. ASM International is on the ING Benelux Favourites list.
