What's in Store for United Microelectronics' (UMC) Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
United Microelectronics (UMC - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter 2021 results on Jul 27.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings currently stands at 33 cents per share, which has remained unchanged over the past 30 days, suggests an improvement of 83.33% from the year-ago reported figure.
The consensus mark for second-quarter net sales is pegged at $2.32 billion, indicating growth of 26.93% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Factors to Note
United Microelectronics’ second-quarter performance is likely to have continued benefiting from a strong wafer demand, which kept fab utilization at full capacity. Higher pricing capacity may have lifted overall revenues.
In the last reported quarterly results, the company had projected a 4-5% quarter-on-quarter increase in the second-quarter wafer shipment. United Microelectronics had anticipated a 3-4% sequential rise in average selling price in the quarter to be reported.
The company’s growing efforts to concentrate on specialty technologies like non-volatile memory, power management, RFSOI and OLED display driver to support 5G, IoT and automotive mega-trends may have favored the to-be-reported quarter’s top line. United Microelectronics’ specialty technologies have been attracting new customers who are forming long-term partnerships with the company.
United Microelectronics Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
The company has been expanding its Fab 12A P5, which would help it to meet 28 nanometer supply backlogs. In order to meet the rising demand for 22/28 nanometer, the company has been broadening its Fab capacity in Singapore and has secured multi-year supply agreements. This, in turn, might get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s results.
However, rising supply chain constraints due to geopolitical tensions may have negatively impacted the company’s overall performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Soft demand for the 40-nm technology is expected to have acted as a headwind for United Microelectronics. The weakening momentum across fabless customers might get reflected in the company’s second-quarter results.
