Over and above an eventual cyclical recovery, we continue to be very positive on the long-term hybrid bonding opportunity for BESI. We believe that over the years we will see an industry-wide adoption in chiplet architecture. This will drive a jump in hybrid bonding demand in which we expect BESI to keep its leading position. We reiterate our BUY rating and €150 target price.
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.
Despite a slower growth outlook for 2026 we remain positive on the ASML investment case. We believe that the long-term outlook for semiconductor capex remains strong.

We reiterate our BUY rating but slightly lower our target price from €825 to €800 per share.
