On July 14, United Microelectronics declined 3.71% overnight, trading at $22.48/share, with turnover of $667,300. The stock extended its prior session decline as the broader semiconductor sector continued to face systematic selling pressure.
On the news front, the semiconductor sector has been under sustained pressure for multiple consecutive sessions, with peers Micron Technology down 1.07% and Intel down 0.85%. UMC had previously rallied 4.2% in pre-market trading on news of ASML's EUV light source breakthrough that could boost chip output by 50%, but persistent sector-wide selling fully erased those gains and pushed the stock further lower.
On the fundamental side, UMC reported Q2 revenue growth of nearly 17% year-over-year, reaching a 15-quarter high, with June revenue surging 23% to NT$23.1 billion. While business momentum remains solid, short-term sector sentiment continues to suppress individual stock performance. The next earnings report is scheduled for July 29, with expected EPS of $0.15.
