Oct 22 (Reuters) – BE Semiconductor Industries reported third-quarter orders that beat analyst expectations on Thursday, as demand for its chip-packaging equipment tied to AI data centres remained strong.
Orders, the industry’s most closely watched metric, came in at €342.6 million ($385.2 million), up 17% from the second quarter and 96% from a year earlier. Analysts polled by researcher Visible Alpha had expected €298 million.
