On June 10, United Microelectronics (UMC) fell 5.03% overnight, trading at $18.82/share, with trading volume of $951,100, extending its recent corrective trend.
On the news front, UMC's current TTM price-to-earnings ratio remains significantly above its five-year median of 11.8x. The stock has already retreated more than 15% from recent highs due to elevated valuation concerns. Although the company previously reported Q1 net profit surging 108% year-over-year to NT$16.17 billion and confirmed selective price hikes of approximately 10% for the second half, short-term valuation repair continues to dominate market trading logic. A brief rebound supported by a broker upgrade to Buy and May revenue growth of 17.8% year-over-year proved insufficient to reverse the downward trend.
Within the Semiconductors sector, the overall tone remained weak. Among individual stocks, Micron Technology fell 4.08%, Intel fell 3.63%, Marvell Technology fell 3.31%, Advanced Micro Devices fell 3.22%, and NVIDIA fell 1.49%, reflecting broad-based selling pressure across the sector.
