United Microelectronics (UMC) has carved out a strong position in the global semiconductor foundry market, particularly in mature and specialty nodes. These chips serve a broad range of industries and are gaining more importance as foundry demand rebounds, and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure creates additional demand for specialty chips.
United Microelectronics’ share price has already reflected much of the improvement. The stock has jumped 177.7% over the past two years, and the latest sales figures gave investors another reason to stay interested. September revenue reached NT $25.35 billion ($797.3 million), up 27.22% from a year earlier, after revenue grew 30.71% in August.
