Valuing United Microelectronics stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of United Microelectronics's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
United Microelectronics's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, United Microelectronics shares trade at around 11x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
United Microelectronics's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.4238. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into United Microelectronics's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
United Microelectronics's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $95 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a United Microelectronics's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 71.23% of net profits
Recently United Microelectronics has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), United Microelectronics shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In United Microelectronics's case, that would currently equate to about $3 per share.
United Microelectronics's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
United Microelectronics's most recent dividend payout was on 6 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
United Microelectronics's shares were split on a 1045:1000 basis on 7 August 2008 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1045 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your United Microelectronics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for United Microelectronics shares which in turn could have impacted United Microelectronics's share price.
Over the last 12 months, United Microelectronics's shares have ranged in value from as little as $6.71 up to $8.95. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while United Microelectronics's is 1.173. This would suggest that United Microelectronics's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
