BE Semiconductor Reports Strong Q2 Growth Driven by AI Demand
BE Semiconductor reported strong second-quarter results, with revenue rising to €249.9 million—a year-over-year increase of 68%. The company's net income surged 177% to €89.0 million and its gross margin improved to 65.7%, reflecting growing demand for AI computing infrastructure and advanced semiconductor packaging technologies. Orders more than doubled from a year ago, reaching €292.9 million in Q2 as customer adoption of hybrid bonding expanded significantly—from 15 customers at the end of 2025 to 21 by mid-2026. Management expects continued momentum with third-quarter revenue growth projected between 10% and 15%, despite a potential slight decline in gross margin due to product mix. The company's balance sheet also strengthened, with net cash rising to €164 million following strong operating performance and the conversion of convertible notes into equity. Investors are watching for sustained AI-related capital spending and further adoption of hybrid bonding as key indicators of long-term growth potential.
