On June 17, United Microelectronics (UMC) rose 3.01% in pre-market trading, trading at $22.27/share, with turnover of $28,100, rebounding after a decline of over 6% in the prior session.
On the news front, the broader semiconductor sector showed a notable recovery, with Intel up 3.87%, Micron Technology up 3.45%, Marvell Technology up 2.99%, and Advanced Micro Devices up 2.82%, lifting overall sector sentiment and driving capital back into chip names.
On the fundamental side, UMC's embedded Deep Trench Capacitor (DTC) technology has successfully entered the Qualcomm supply chain and commenced shipments, marking a significant milestone in advanced packaging. This is layered on top of Q1 net profit surging 108% year-over-year to NT$16.17 billion and May revenue growing 17.8% year-over-year. The company has also confirmed selective price increases of approximately 10% for the second half, providing sustained earnings momentum. After a cumulative pullback exceeding 15% due to elevated valuations, these multiple catalysts are attracting capital inflows.
