Market Focus
Jun 09

On June 9, United Microelectronics fell 3.25% overnight, trading at $19.35/share, with trading volume of $160,200, extending its recent correction trend.

On the news front, UMC's current TTM price-to-earnings ratio stands at approximately 32x, still far exceeding its five-year median of 11.8x. The stock has now pulled back more than 15% from recent highs as the market continues to digest elevated valuation levels built up during the prior rally. Although the company reported Q1 net profit surging 108% year-over-year to NT$16.17 billion, with gross margin reaching 29.2%, and confirmed selective price hikes of approximately 10% in the second half, short-term valuation correction remains the dominant trading logic. Additionally, the semiconductor sector broadly declined, with Marvell Technology down 1.37%, Intel down 1.02%, Micron Technology down 0.93%, Broadcom down 0.70%, and NVIDIA down 0.62%, creating further drag on sentiment.
