Movement Alert｜United Microelectronics Falls 5.22% in Regular Trading, Semiconductor Sector Under Broad Selling Pressure After SoftBank Slashes TSMC Stake

Market Focus08-18

On August 18, United Microelectronics fell 5.22% in regular trading, trading at $18.455/share, with turnover of $26.71 million.

On the news front, the semiconductor sector came under systemic selling pressure after SoftBank Group disclosed in its 13F filing that it reduced its TSMC holdings by over 71% during Q2, offloading approximately 1.4 million ADR shares and cashing out around $270 million. The move triggered broad concerns over institutional profit-taking in high-flying chip stocks, compounded by a valuation correction across the global AI industry chain.

Within the Semiconductors sector, Intel fell 6.43%, Micron Technology fell 5.14%, Advanced Micro Devices fell 4.91%, Broadcom fell 3.26%, and NVIDIA fell 2.04%. Despite United Microelectronics reporting 19% year-over-year revenue growth in July and a 250% surge in first-half net income, strong fundamentals were unable to offset sector-wide institutional de-risking in the near term.
