Movement Alert｜United Microelectronics Falls 3.3% in Regular Trading, Elevated Valuation Triggers Pullback Pressure

Market Focus06-02 21:44

On June 2, United Microelectronics (UMC) fell 3.3% in regular trading, trading at $21.995/share, with trading volume of $30.89 million.

The decline comes as UMC's current TTM price-to-earnings ratio has surged to 36.7x, far exceeding its five-year median of 11.8x. With significant year-to-date cumulative gains, valuation pullback pressure has become the market's primary focus. Meanwhile, the broader semiconductor sector saw selective weakness, with Intel declining 1.91% and Micron Technology falling 0.48%, reflecting subdued sector sentiment.

Despite the company's previously reported Q1 net profit surging 108% year-over-year to NT$16.17 billion, with gross margin reaching 29.2% and capacity utilization rising to 79%, as well as its announced plan for selective price hikes of approximately 10% in the second half and broader pricing negotiations in 2027, the high valuation risk accumulated from the prior rapid share price appreciation has become the dominant concern, outweighing positive fundamental catalysts.
