$UMC The real bull thesis and what many are missing especially the uneducated analysts is UMC becoming the primary Western aligned trusted foundry alternative as geopolitics will force imo customers to diversify away from TSMC and Chinese fabs, letting UMC's specialty/mature node biz (RF, display driver, power, automotive) command structurally higher margins instead of trading like a cyclical commodity foundry.
Layer on that with its 12nm
$INTC partnership scaling into real volume, continued double digit rev growth like the pattern behind its April 2026 sales rising 17% year over year and a re-rating of its P/E multiple from foundry utility levels toward
$TSM like scarcity pricing once AI adjacent chip demand (power management, RF front-end, edge inference) outstrips leading edge capacity.
Stack that top line growth, margin expansion and multiple expansion together and you get the multiplicative path to
$100 plus but it's worth it requires all 3 to fire simultaneously
