Stock Track | UMC Soars 5.14% in Night Session After Morgan Stanley Upgrade to Overweight

Stock Track

May 19

United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) stock surged 5.14% during the night session on Monday, significantly outperforming the broader semiconductor sector.

The sharp rise followed Morgan Stanley's upgrade of UMC from Equal Weight to Overweight, accompanied by a substantial increase in the price target from NT$68 to NT$138. Analysts cited a node capacity shortage as a key factor in their bullish outlook for the company.

The upgrade represents a major vote of confidence from a leading financial institution and suggests expectations of improved fundamentals and market positioning for UMC amid tight supply conditions in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
