On August 5, United Microelectronics fell 5.38% in regular trading, trading at $19.79/share, with turnover of $29.55 million. The decline completely erased the previous session's 5.46% rebound.
On the news front, the semiconductor sector showed notable divergence, with Advanced Micro Devices down 4.47% while NVIDIA rose 3.94% and Micron Technology gained 2.53%. Partial sector weakness dragged on United Microelectronics, extending its pullback. The stock had previously surged over 140% from late April through late June, and despite reporting Q2 EPS of $0.54 — beating the consensus estimate of $0.15 by 260% — with revenue of $2.176 billion also exceeding expectations, the analyst consensus rating remains at strong sell with a target price of just $8.60. Additionally, the company's CFO sold 1.9 million shares on July 13, amplifying profit-taking pressure that continues to weigh on the stock.
