Background and price data on United Microelectronics Corp
Key figures, filings and past news on United Microelectronics Corp stock can be found in the dedicated topic area and on the company’s investor-relations pages.
What consensus data signal
Without a new Friday filing or press release, the market’s reference points are recent prices and analyst views on United Microelectronics Corp. According to one data provider, the company carries an overall analyst rating in the "Sell" range alongside a consensus 12-month price target around $10.78 for the US-listed shares.
That indicative target sits markedly below a recent US close above $24, implying that at least part of the analyst community sees the stock as pricing in a full earnings recovery and robust foundry demand. As always with aggregated ratings, the distribution across individual buy, hold and sell recommendations matters more than the shorthand label.
Peer group and weekly backdrop
UMC operates in a crowded semiconductor foundry market dominated by larger rival TSMC and flanked by players such as GlobalFoundries and Samsung’s contract-manufacturing arm. The stock often trades in sympathy with global chip indices, which have been driven this year by AI-related demand and cyclical recovery expectations in PCs and smartphones.
Compared with pure-play logic designers and high-profile AI beneficiaries, foundry names like UMC typically offer lower margin profiles but more diversified customer bases. On balance, that can mean less explosive upside in boom phases but somewhat more resilience when individual product cycles disappoint.
How the company makes money
United Microelectronics Corp generates revenue as a contract semiconductor manufacturer, fabricating wafers for external customers on a range of process technologies instead of selling its own branded chips. The business focuses on mature and specialty nodes where pricing and utilization can remain robust even when the most advanced nodes are in transition.
