On June 10, United Microelectronics (UMC) fell 5.63% in pre-market trading to $18.77/share, with trading volume of $57,100, extending its recent correction trend.
On the news front, UMC's TTM price-to-earnings ratio remains far above its five-year median of 11.8x. The stock had previously accumulated a decline of over 15% due to stretched valuations and briefly rebounded after a broker upgraded its rating to Buy and the company reported May revenue of NT$22.94 billion (up 17.8% YoY). However, valuation correction pressure has not been fully digested, and short-term multiple compression continues to dominate trading logic.
Within the Semiconductor sector, the overall tone remains weak. Among individual stocks, Micron Technology down 2.89%, Marvell Technology down 2.32%, Advanced Micro Devices down 2.03%, Intel down 1.83%, and NVIDIA down 1.15%, reinforcing broad sector headwinds.
Despite UMC's strong fundamentals — Q1 net profit surging 108% YoY to NT$16.17 billion and confirmed selective price hikes of approximately 10% in the second half — near-term valuation normalization remains the prevailing market focus.
