Market Focus07-24 10:37

On July 24, ASE Technology fell 3.17% overnight, trading at $38.2/share, with turnover of $1.1833 million.

On the news front, the broader semiconductor sector showed divergence, with Micron Technology down 1.99%, NVIDIA down 1.05%, and Broadcom down 0.88%, creating headwinds for individual names. The company is scheduled to report its latest quarterly earnings on July 30, with consensus expectations calling for revenue of $5.95 billion, representing a 23.25% year-over-year increase, and adjusted EPS of $0.20. The approaching earnings window, combined with lingering profit-taking pressure following a 7.82% single-day surge on July 21, has intensified wait-and-see sentiment among investors, with the stock's decline notably exceeding the sector average.

Notably, the company announced on July 1 that advanced packaging prices would rise by over 20%, and its June revenue grew 32.9% year-over-year to NT$65.78 billion, with ATM business surging 41.8%. While medium-term fundamentals remain supportive, near-term positioning ahead of earnings continues to cap upside.
