On June 22, United Microelectronics (UMC) rose 11.3% in regular trading, trading at $27.57/share, with turnover of $63.76 million, extending its recent strong rebound momentum.
On the news front, multiple catalysts converged to drive the surge. Intel and UMC reportedly reached a collaboration agreement to co-develop 3nm and 12nm process technologies, with production lines to be located at Intel's Arizona facility. The partnership allows UMC to enter the advanced node arena without significant capital expenditure, with 12nm expected to contribute revenue next year and 3nm targeting TSMC-level capabilities.
Additionally, UMC's embedded Deep Trench Capacitor (DTC) technology successfully entered Qualcomm's supply chain and has begun shipping. Fundamentally, the company reported Q1 net profit surging 108% year-over-year to NT$16.17 billion, while market expectations of selective price hikes of approximately 10% in the second half further bolstered earnings outlook. However, UMC officially stated it does not comment on speculative reports regarding the Intel partnership. Within the semiconductor sector, Micron Technology rose 4.71% and Intel gained 3.5%.
