Shares of chip stocks are trading higher amid overall market strength on reports indicating China is assessing US trade talks. Additionally, jobs data may be easing some market fears. NVIDIA shares rose on reports indicating the company is working on China-tailored chips.

Taiwan-based&nbsp;United Microelectronics Corp&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>) reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal first-quarter</a> results Wednesday.
The company reported <a href="https://www.umc.com/en/Download/quarterly_results/QuarterlyResultsDetail/2025/2025Q1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">quarterly revenue growth</a> of 5.9% year-on-year to $1.74 billion (NT$57.86 billion). It also missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.81 billion. 
Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the release:

<ul>
<li>The revenue decreased by 4.2% Q/Q.</li>
<li>Earnings per ADS of 9 cents missed the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate </a>of 10 cents. The stock price gained after the report.</li>
<li>Revenue from 22 and 28nm was 37% of the wafer revenue (versus 33% a year ago), driven by a 46% Q/Q increase in 22nm revenue from products such as OLED display driver ICs, image signal processors as well as digital TV, WiFi, and audio codec chips.</li>
<li>The 40nm contribution remained at 16% of&nbsp;sales (versus 18% a year ago).&nbsp;</li>
<li>Capacity utilization improved from 65% to 69% Y/Y.</li>
<li>The gross margin declined to 26.7% from 30.9% a year ago. Capital expenditures totaled $443 million in the quarter.</li>
</ul>
Outlook: United Microelectronics <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">expects second-quarter</a> wafer shipments to increase by 5-7% and ASP to remain flat. It expects quarterly gross margin of ~30%. The company projected capacity utilization in the mid-70% range for the quarter.
The company reiterated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43095433/umc-q4-earnings-topline-rises-99-driven-by-ai-and-smartphones-projects-flat-q1-shipments" rel="noreferrer noopener">2025 capex of </a>$1.8 billion.
Co-president Jason Wang projected a moderate rebound in demand across all segments in the second quarter. Beyond that, he expressed caution about wafer demand projections as policies and markets are still adjusting to the recent tariff announcements. United Microelectronics focused on execution of key technology projects, such as the 12nm collaboration with U.S. partner, and ensuring our customers have access to geographically diverse manufacturing options. It also implemented cost-reduction plans and accelerated AI and intelligent manufacturing systems.
The company expects customers to tape out additional 22nm products in the coming quarters. The newly inaugurated Singapore Phase 3 fab will provide a further 22nm capacity to support future growth. Pilot runs are underway, and the company is scheduled to ramp up to volume production in early 2026.
Price Action:&nbsp;UMC stock is up 5.88% at $7.20 premarket at the last check Wednesday.

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

On Friday, China's General Administration of Customs implemented a new rule that determines the country of origin for semiconductor products based on the location of wafer fabrication — not where the chips are designed, developed, or packaged.
What Happened: As a result of this development, chips designed by U.S.-based companies like Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) but manufactured by foundries in Taiwan, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufactoring Co. Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>), will be exempt from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44756353/xi-jinping-says-there-are-no-winners-in-tariff-war-as-china-slaps-125-tariffs-on-us-goods-urges-trump-to-immediately-correct-wrongdoings">China's 125% retaliatory tariffs</a> on U.S. imports, <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/chinas-new-semiconductor-rule-spares-taiwan-fabs-punishes-intel-globalfoundries-and-texas-instruments">reported</a> Tom's Hardware.
However, this rule delivers a blow to U.S. chipmakers like Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), GlobalFoundries (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFS#NASDAQ">GFS</a>), and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), which fabricate their chips domestically.
Products from these companies will now face the full brunt of China&#8217;s import tariffs, dramatically impacting their competitiveness in the Chinese market.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44630304/qualcomm-expands-ai-ambitions-with-acquisition-of-vinais-generative-ai-division">Qualcomm Expands AI Ambitions With Acquisition of VinAI&#8217;s Generative AI Division</a>
The China Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA) issued a notice clarifying that the "country of origin" for all chips — packaged or unpackaged — will be based solely on where the wafers were processed.
Because China considers Taiwan part of its own territory, chips produced in Taiwanese fabs are not subject to the punitive tariffs, even if designed and sold by American firms.

Why It Matters: This change effectively divides U.S. semiconductor firms into winners and losers. Designers like Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), and Qualcomm benefit from outsourcing production to Taiwan, which keeps their products tariff-free and their access to China intact.
Meanwhile, chipmakers with U.S.-based fabrication operations—such as Intel's fabs in Arizona and Oregon and GlobalFoundries' Fab 8 in New York—are now disadvantaged.
The rule bolsters China's geopolitical stance by treating Taiwan as a domestic supplier and incentivizes more outsourcing to Taiwanese and Chinese foundries, the report noted.
It may also redirect chip business away from U.S. fabs, pushing global firms to avoid sourcing from the U.S. to sidestep tariffs.
In a note released Thursday, Goldman Sachs economists, led by Andrew Tilton, warned that the abrupt hike in U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports — raised to 125% as of April 9 — could significantly impact China's economy and put as many as 20 million export-related jobs at risk.
Qualcomm has a growth score of 60.95, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> companies like Nvidia, AMD, TSMC, Intel, and others.

The merged company would prioritize research and development investments in the U.S. and could emerge as a viable alternative to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), Reuters reports. The potential deal coincided with the U.S.&#8217; efforts to boost its semiconductor supply chain amid rising geopolitical tensions.
A transaction of this nature would presumably require the approval of Chinese regulators, implying a significant hurdle, Bloomberg analysts&nbsp;Charles Shum&nbsp;and&nbsp;Steven Tseng&nbsp;stated&nbsp;on Monday.
GlobalFoundries reported a fiscal fourth-quarter 2024 revenue decline of 1% to $1.830 billion, beating the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of $1.829 billion. The contract chipmaker&#8217;s adjusted EPS of 46 cents beat the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of 44 cents.&nbsp;
GlobalFoundries expects first-quarter revenue of $1.55 billion-$1.60 billion versus the&nbsp;$1.66 billion estimate. The company expects adjusted EPS of $0.24-$0.34 versus&nbsp;the&nbsp;$0.32 estimate.
As of December 31, 2024, GlobalFoundries held $4.2 billion in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43623967/globalfoundries-beats-q4-estimates-margins-shrink-935-million-impairment-charge" rel="noreferrer noopener">cash and equivalents</a>.
UMC reported a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43095433/umc-q4-earnings-topline-rises-99-driven-by-ai-and-smartphones-projects-flat-q1-shipments" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter revenue</a> growth of 9.9% to&nbsp;$1.84 billion (NT$60.39 billion). Earnings per ADS of 10 cents missed the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of 15 cents. The company missed the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of $1.87 billion.&nbsp;
