Movement Alert|United Microelectronics Falls 5.06% in Regular Trading, Elevated Valuation Combined with Semiconductor Sector Sell-Off Extends Correction

Market Focus
Jun 10

On June 10, United Microelectronics fell 5.06% in regular trading, trading at $18.865/share, with trading volume of $185 million, extending its recent correction trend.

On the news front, UMC's current TTM price-to-earnings ratio remains far above its five-year median of 11.8x, with the stock having already pulled back over 15% cumulatively due to elevated valuation levels. Meanwhile, the broader semiconductor sector is under significant pressure, with Broadcom down 4.74%, Marvell Technology down 4.61%, Micron Technology down 4.26%, NVIDIA down 2.80%, and Intel down 1.88%, reflecting deteriorating sector sentiment that has created a downward resonance effect.

Despite the company reporting Q1 net profit surging 108% year-over-year to NT$16.17 billion, with gross margin reaching 29.2% and capacity utilization recovering to 79%, and having confirmed selective price increases of approximately 10% for the second half, short-term valuation correction continues to dominate market trading logic. A brokerage previously upgraded the stock to buy with a target price of NT$135, but the rebound proved short-lived as valuation pressures remain insufficiently digested.
