United Micro ( (UMC) ) has provided an announcement.
On January 28, 2026, UMC reported its consolidated operating results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, posting Q4 revenue of NT$61.81 billion, up 4.5% sequentially and 2.4% year-on-year, with a gross margin of 30.7% and net income of NT$10.06 billion. Earnings per share for 2025 reached NT$3.34, supported by a 93% year-on-year surge in full-year 22nm revenue and record 22nm sales in the fourth quarter, where 22/28nm technologies contributed 36% of revenue and 22nm alone exceeded 13%, reflecting a favorable product mix and stable wafer demand despite only modest market growth. Management said 2026 is expected to be another growth year, underpinned by accelerating tape-outs on 22nm platforms, new technology solutions, and expanded manufacturing capacity including the completed Phase 3 facility at Singapore Fab 12i and U.S. partnerships such as a 12nm collaboration with Intel and an MOU with Polar Semiconductor. UMC also highlighted sustainability milestones achieved in 2025, including the inauguration of an on-site Circular Economy and Recycling Innovation Center in Taiwan that is expected to cut waste from its Taiwan fabs by up to one-third, while guidance for the first quarter of 2026 calls for flat wafer shipments, firm U.S. dollar ASPs, gross margin in the high-20% range, mid-70% capacity utilization and 2026 capital expenditures of US$1.5 billion.

Spark’s Take on UMC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, UMC is a Neutral.
UMC scores well on balance-sheet strength and sustained profitability, with supportive (but somewhat mixed) cash-flow trends. The score is held back by the significant TTM revenue contraction and earnings-call noted margin/net income pressures. Technically, the uptrend is strong, but overbought indicators increase near-term volatility risk; valuation is reasonable with a solid dividend yield.
