United Microelectronics reports 30.7% Y/Y revenue surge in August 2026 to NT$25.04B
What it means
- What to watch: The headline hangs on one number (30.7%) — one data point is a snapshot, so the trailing trend is the context it needs.
- How the stock is trading: $UMC -5.73% in the latest session.
- Timing: It arrived overnight — the change beside it belongs to a session that had already packed up and gone home. Market holidays are not detected.
Where the stock stands
$UMC last traded at $15.14, -5.73% on the session. That puts it 48% shy of its 52-week high of $28.96 and 117% clear of its low of $6.97 — a little below the middle of the range. Over the year it has ranged 315% from low to high: a very wide band; big swings are routine for this one, not news. These are latest-session quotes, not live prices — the live tape is on the $UMC page.
How much coverage it is getting
This is the only story Wook has logged on $UMC in the last 30 days — a quiet name that just got a headline. 12 related stories — same name or same desk — are lined up beside this one if you want the whole thread.
The bigger picture
Earnings stories turn less on the headline numbers than on how they compare with what analysts expected, and on guidance for next quarter. A beat with weak guidance can land worse than a miss with a raised outlook — markets grade on the curve. Wook's supply-chain scanner has Information Technology reading calm today: no unusual stress in the filings and disclosures it watches.
What to watch next
The $UMC page has the full chart, the filings and the valuation model behind every figure here. Because one outlet dominates the coverage, reading another outlet on the same story is the quickest check on whether it is being confirmed or just repeated. And Wook AI, up top, will happily do the math — how far $UMC sits from its high, or how this week's coverage stacks up.
How this analysis was made
Seeking Alpha published it, and Wook filed it under Earnings. It reads bullish at medium severity because of “surge” in the wording, with nothing on the bearish side to offset it. It was matched to $UMC. It carried $25.04 billion and 30.7%, shown as published and not recalculated. The publisher gave no preview text, and nothing has been written in to fill the gap.
The tone and severity labels come from a fixed word list — no editor, no AI, no crystal ball — so they describe how a story is worded, not what happens next. They are not a forecast or a recommendation, and a same-day move does not mean this story caused it. Not investment advice.
