UWC eyes front-end chip demand


PETALING JAYA: Hong Leong Investment Bank Research (HLIB Research) expects front-end (FE) semiconductor equipment customers to be the main revenue contributor for UWC Bhd going forward, rising from 34% of financial year 2025 (FY25) revenue to 43% by FY27.

It said margins are also expected to recover meaningfully from FY25 onwards, underpinned by the higher FE mix, improved production yields, and potential Malaysian Investment Development Authority pioneer status benefits.

UWC is an integrated engineering support service provider with exposures in the semiconductor, life sciences and medical technology industries.

HLIB Research has retained its “buy” call on the company with unchanged target price of RM2.78 per share.
