Unisem stock was trading at MYR 4.21 on Bursa Malaysia on October 14, 2026, 12.47 percent below TA Securities' MYR 4.81 target. The company had announced on October 9 a MYR 396.00 million expansion of its Gopeng semiconductor plant, according to The Edge Malaysia.

Gopeng investment reaches MYR 396.00 million

The second phase covers a new production facility with 40,000 square meters of built-up area and an estimated construction cost of MYR 196.00 million. Equipment and facility preparation add MYR 200.00 million, bringing the planned investment to MYR 396.00 million, The Star reported on October 9, 2026.

Half of the new facility is intended for Unisem Advanced Technologies, which will use it to expand wafer-bumping operations. Unisem said the project targets demand for advanced packaging in artificial intelligence, data centers and high-performance computing, while the earnings contribution is expected after completion and commissioning.

Quarterly figures show a rebound

In the second quarter of 2026, revenue was MYR 570.12 million and net income was MYR 9.91 million, according to Investing.com. Revenue increased from MYR 464.75 million in the first quarter to MYR 570.12 million in the second quarter, a 22.68 percent sequential increase, while the company moved from a MYR 13.36 million net loss to a MYR 9.91 million profit.

The latest quarter also showed gross profit of MYR 47.93 million and operating profit of MYR 24.86 million. Those figures give the expansion a nearer-term test: utilization and customer loading must improve enough for new capacity to translate into operating leverage.

What funds the next expansion

The Edge reported on October 9, 2026 that Unisem plans to fund the project through internally generated funds and bank borrowings. The company said the proportions had not been determined, leaving funding mix and utilization as key execution variables for the planned facility.

Three dated company milestones

On July 31, 2026, Unisem reported second-quarter and six-month results ended June 30, 2026, with quarterly revenue of MYR 570.12 million. On September 18, 2026, MarketScreener reported TA Securities' MYR 4.81 target for Unisem. On October 9, 2026, the Gopeng expansion was announced at MYR 396.00 million.

Next reporting date is October 22, 2026

Investing.com lists October 22, 2026 as Unisem's next earnings date. That report should show whether the second-quarter revenue increase is continuing before the new Gopeng capacity is operational.
