Analysis · UMC · Manufacturing
July net sales came in at NT$23.84 billion, an 18.98% jump from the prior year, sustaining the vigorous pace of recent months. Year-to-date, revenue reached NT$153.61 billion, up 12.41%. The update reinforces the robust demand backdrop that drove a nearly fivefold surge in Q2 net income and prompted a boost to full-year capex. While the consistent double-digit growth supports the bullish semiconductor cycle narrative, investors should weigh the recent large insider sale by the CFO.
