** Shares of European tech and semiconductor companies rise after Samsung, world's largest memory chip, smartphone and TV maker, estimated a more than 15-fold rise in its Q2 operating profit, while Aixtron reported strong order intake despite guidance cut
** The pan-European STOXX tech index .SX8P rises 1.3%, leading sectoral gains on the wider STOXX 600 .STOXX index
** "Aixtron has released its prelim results with a stronger order intake especially on silicon carbide (SiC) where the momentum was too weak in the last few months, so maybe the momentum in SiC investment is not as bad as feared," Martin Marandon-Carlhian from ODDO BHF says

** German chip manufacturer Infineon IFXGn.DE and Franco-Italian chipmaker STMicroelectronics STMPA.PA rise 2.9% and 2.8%, respectively
** "There is also another thing for companies mostly exposed to AI memory and overall semiconductor market, like ASML, ASM International and BE Semiconductor, there was preliminary results from Samsung this morning which were better than expected," Marandon-Carlhian added
** Semiconductor production equipment maker ASML ASML.AS, ASM International ASMI.AS and BE Semiconductor BESI.AS are up 1.3%, 0.8% and 0.3%, respectively
