On June 11, United Microelectronics (UMC) rose 5.61% in pre-market trading to $19.95/share, with trading volume of $35,700, rebounding sharply after a significant decline in the prior session.
On the news front, the broader semiconductor sector showed meaningful recovery, with Micron Technology up 3.99%, Intel up 3.15%, Marvell Technology up 3.47%, and Broadcom up 1.85%, providing favorable sector sentiment. UMC had previously pulled back over 15% from elevated valuation levels, with its TTM P/E ratio far exceeding its five-year median of 11.8x. The rebound is supported by strong fundamentals: Q1 net profit surged 108% year-over-year to NT$16.17 billion, May revenue grew 17.8% YoY to NT$22.94 billion, and management has confirmed selective price increases of approximately 10% for the second half. Additionally, a broker recently upgraded UMC from Hold to Buy with a target price of NT$135, bolstering market confidence.
