Movement Alert|United Microelectronics Rises 3.23% in Regular Trading, AI Demand Spillover to Mature Nodes Fuels Foundry Price Hike Expectations

Market Focus
Sep 29

On September 29, United Microelectronics rose 3.23% in regular trading, trading at $24.625/share, with turnover of approximately $60.82 million.

On the news front, AI server demand for power management ICs, MCUs, and networking chips produced on mature process nodes continues to surge. Combined with select foundries trimming legacy capacity, mature-node foundry prices have been raised in the second half of the year. Industry sources indicate that as utilization rates recover — TrendForce estimates top-ten foundries' 8-inch average utilization will reach 90% in H2 — the scope and magnitude of price adjustments could widen further into next year, positioning United Microelectronics for a shift from volume growth to both volume and pricing gains.

The broader semiconductor sector also rallied, with Broadcom up 2.49%, Micron Technology up 2.47%, and Advanced Micro Devices up 1.26%, providing additional sector-level tailwinds. United Microelectronics previously reported August net sales of NT$25.045 billion, up 30.71% year-over-year, underscoring robust demand momentum.
