On June 30, ASE Technology rose 3.28% in regular trading, trading at $43.41/share, with turnover of $44.08 million.
On the news front, the semiconductor sector staged a broad recovery, as nearly 20 global analog and power semiconductor companies are set to launch a new round of price increases effective July 1. The industry has exhibited a multi-batch staircase pricing pattern throughout the year, with multiple manufacturers reporting full order books and significantly improved capacity visibility. The improved industry outlook drove capital back into the sector, with peers Advanced Micro Devices up 3.33%, Intel up 1.61%, and NVIDIA up 1.19%.
Earlier concerns triggered by controlling shareholder ASE Investment Holdings' announced plan to reduce its stake in subsidiary Universal Scientific Industrial by up to 2% — approximately 47.78 million shares via block trades between July 21 and October 20 — have been largely digested. The company clarified that the divestiture is intended to fund high-intensity capital expenditure in advanced packaging, with acquirers locked up for six months. ASE is currently expanding aggressively with 15 new sites planned, backed by an $8.5 billion capital expenditure budget that may rise further to support long-term AI-driven chip demand.
