PO cuts on eMemory and WT Micro 07 July 2026

We update our POs for eMemory, WT Micro and GlobalWafers in this report, including Equity

trimming our POs for eMemory and WT Micro to NT$4,500 (from NT$5,500) and Taiwan

NT$310 (from NT$370) respectively after reflecting the impact from expected US rate Semiconductors

hikes (see Morning Market Tidbits report), and raising our PO for GlobalWafers to Mike Yang >>

NT$685 (from NT$575) along with an increase in our EPS estimates. For eMemory, our Research Analyst

valuation is unchanged based on DCF, where we now assume a 7% WACC (vs 6% prior). Merrill+886 2Lynch2376 (Taiwan)3729

Semiconductor IP: stay more constructive on eMemory Haas Liu >>

In our view, eMemory remains well-positioned to benefit from the IP (intellectual ResearchMerrill LynchAnalyst(Taiwan)

advanced nodes.
