ADVANTEST CORPORATION <6857>, DISCO CORPORATION <6146>, Tokyo Electron Limited <8035>, Lasertec corporation <6920>, SCREEN Holdings Co., Ltd. <7735>, and other major semiconductor equipment manufacturers attracted concentrated investment, opening with buy-dominated order imbalances in a show of strong investor interest.

While the Tokyo market was closed for the extended holiday period, U.S. stock markets extended their upward momentum, led by AI and semiconductor-related stocks, with the Nasdaq Composite Index cruising near record highs. Against this backdrop, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX Index), composed of semiconductor stocks, has traced a remarkable upward trend, and the Tokyo market followed suit. Particularly noteworthy is Tokyo Electron, which marked a record high of 48,190 yen during intraday trading on the 1st, sandwiched between the holidays. Today, as the company's shares continue to renew record highs, other semiconductor equipment manufacturers are expected to follow, with buoyant momentum anticipated.
