UMS Integration's stock price surged 3.50% during intraday trading on Friday, reflecting strong investor confidence in the company's semiconductor-linked business recovery.
The company reported impressive first-quarter results, with revenue rising 20% year-on-year to S$69.4 million and net profit climbing 43% to S$14.0 million. The semiconductor segment, which is UMS's core business, grew 21% to S$58.9 million, significantly boosted by a 26% jump in component sales from a new key customer.
Market analysts attribute the surge to UMS's positioning within the broader semiconductor cycle recovery. The company benefits from strong order flow as its new key customer shifts its US supply source to Asia. Management has expressed optimism about the company's full-year performance, expecting better results ahead as semiconductor demand continues to strengthen.
