Unimicron
We are 25% above consensus in 2027, but still see substantial upside
- Looking beyond like-for-like price hikes. For months, investors have focused on the chatter of price hikes which adjust prices for ongoing products. We believe that going forward, seeking price adjustments for ongoing products won't be the priority for Unimicron, which will instead focus on securing/ solidifying market share for new leading edge substrate projects, which are entering new realms in terms of size and layer counts. Keep in mind, such an approach could allow Unimicron to out-grow its peers which are typically more vocal on price hikes, as the unit area ASPs for these new products are rising even faster than periodical adjustments of like-for-like pricing, due to the rapidly rising specs that can be met by a very limited number of suppliers. We expect per unit area ASP to at least match that for 2022 (the peak of the last cycle; during which super-hot run fees were more common) with potential upside of 30% or even more vs. our updated assumptions, which already result in 25% higher earnings for 2027 vs. consensus.
- 2Q preview/3Q outlook. Meanwhile we expect Unimicron to deliver close to 24% GM (3ppt above consensus/previous JPMe) in 2Q, on better than expect rev scale (up 15% qoq vs our previous expectation of 7%). We believe substrate and optical transceiver HDIs picked up throughout the quarters (while AI HDI likely saw some product transition impacts in later 2Q). For 3Q we expect another double-digit rev growth of 17% q-o-q, with GM returning to the 30% level in 3Q. In addition to the strong substrate demand growth, we also expect the company to secure more AI HDI shares in 3Q for the upcoming AI GPU server platforms on good yield performance. Furthermore, we also expect the company to enter the ASIC AI server HDI supply chain in the next 12-18 months. We are now 18% above consensus for 2026E EPS, mainly due to our stronger GM expansion.
- Raising TP to NT$1,150 on higher 2027E EPS. Our TP is based on 27.5x PER on 2027E EPS, which we believe isn't undemanding given the increasingly critical roles Unimicron plays in several products (especially for ABF). We expect the main focus of the upcoming analyst meeting (on July 29) to be on future expansions such as KF2 and YM2/3 (we believe the company is finalizing its 5-year plan for advance capacity), LTA signing outlooks (we believe there will be more opportunities ahead; keep in mind LTAs do not bind the future sales prices), future technology roadmaps (glass core, EMIB-T, CoWoP; we believe all will result in higher value-adds) and status of upcoming major substrate projects (both GPUs and ASICs; we are positive). Shares are trading at a discounted valuation to its peers, as we believe its mix/margin improvement potential isn't well understood.

Summary Investment Thesis and Valuation
Investment Thesis
We are OW on Unimicron, given long-term positive ABF substrate demand growth and emerging technological convergence, which we think puts the company in a good position to leverage opportunities such as SLP, Rigid-flex PCBs, etc. For ABF, there is a strong content growth opportunity (~50100%) from rising layers/areas for HPC/AI/5G chips. The company has also been increasingly prudent regarding execution and capital spending, in our view.
Valuation
Our Dec-26 PT of NT$1,150 is based on an FY27E P/E of 27.5x , which is ~1.5 STD above the average multiple since 2018 (which excludes extremes). We believe this multiple is justified by the growth in key ASIC projects together with the GPU project ramp-up.

Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks
Unimicron (Overweight; Price Target: NT$1,150.00)
Investment Thesis
We are OW on Unimicron, given the long-term positive ABF substrate demand growth and emerging technological convergence, which we think puts the company in a good position to leverage opportunities such as SLP, Rigid-flex PCBs, etc. For ABF, there is a strong content growth opportunity (~50-100%) from rising layers/areas for HPC/AI/5G chips. The company has also been increasingly prudent regarding execution and capital spending, in our view.
Valuation
Our Dec-26 PT of NT$1,150 is based on an FY27E P/E of 27.5x , which is ~1.5 STD above the average multiple since 2018 (which excludes extremes). We believe this multiple is justified by the growth in key ASIC projects together with the GPU project ramp-up.
Risks to Rating and Price Target
Downside risks to our rating and price target include:
- Threats from alternative packaging technologies, such as silicon interposers and 3D ICs, which could significantly reduce the value-add of substrates.
- ABF capacity expansion by Japanese/Korean peers that more than compensates for demand growth.
- Macro overhang that pressures capital investments and CE/enterprise demand. A muted smartphone outlook could adversely affect demand for SLP/BT.
- Delays in 5G mmWave pull-in demand, which could be negative for the contribution upside from BT.
