Movement Alert｜United Microelectronics Falls 5.22% in Regular Trading, market continues digesting October sales growth and photonics order expectations

On November 12, United Microelectronics fell 5.22% in Regular Trading, trading at $15.57/share, with turnover of $12.7302 million.

The move came as the market continued to digest the company’s October revenue growth and expectations tied to photonic integrated circuit orders, even as the stock turned weaker in the short term.

Public disclosures showed October consolidated net sales of NT$25.19 billion, up 18.33% from a year earlier, while revenue for the first ten months reached NT$229.21 billion, up 16.33%. Market discussion has also remained focused on reports that initial photonic integrated circuit orders could total about 10,000 wafers, with related pricing rumored at roughly seven times that of traditional CMOS processes, highlighting potential expansion into higher-value specialty manufacturing. Separately, market reports said Samsung’s planned exit from 8-inch foundry services could be brought forward to 2029, with United Microelectronics reportedly taking on part of that capacity.
