Buyback adds capital-return focus

The company expects the repurchased shares to support existing and future share-based compensation obligations.
The program can run until October 2027 unless the purchase limit is reached earlier.

ASM International has started its new share buyback program, giving investors a fresh capital-return issue to assess after the company completed its previous repurchase program in September. The company announced the start on Wednesday, November 11, in a release carried by GlobeNewswire.

Program moves from approval to execution

The buyback covers up to EUR 300 million and began on November 11, 2026. It will end when the company reaches that aggregate purchase price, but no later than October 2027.

ASM said a third party will execute the purchases within applicable legal limits and the authority granted by shareholders. The repurchased shares are intended to cover existing and expected future obligations under share-based compensation programs for employees and board members.

Capital returns follow strong performance

The new program follows ASM's earlier authorization on October 27 and the completion of a prior EUR 150 million program in September. ASM said the latest initiative reflects its strong cash position and financial performance and forms part of its commitment to return excess cash to shareholders.

ASM International stock traded at 727.60 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:14 CET on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
