United Microelectronics: Growth Opportunities On Volume Recovery, But Pricing Remains A Risk
UMC's Q4'24 results were modestly disappointing, with a small operating miss driven by gross margin pressures, and 2025 guidance that was better than bears feared, but not thesis-changing. Demand should recover in 2025 as inventories have been run down across multiple markets (auto, consumer, industrial, wireless, et al), but pricing remains a risk. UMC's advanced packaging capabilities are a solid positive driver, as is the possibility of increased protectionism driving more volumes to their non-Chinese fabs.
