On September 10, ASE Technology fell 3.13% in pre-market trading, trading at $39.8/share, with turnover of $454,400. The decline came after a strong run from $37.51 on September 4 to $41.20 at close on September 9, representing a cumulative gain of nearly 10%, with the current pullback likely reflecting short-term profit-taking pressure.

The broader semiconductor sector weighed heavily on the stock, with Intel down 3.72%, Micron Technology down 2.63%, Advanced Micro Devices down 2.25%, Broadcom down 1.54%, and NVIDIA down 1.00%, signaling widespread sector weakness.

The prior rally was fueled by multiple positive catalysts. ASE Technology reported August net revenue of NT$82.25 billion ($2.61 billion), up 45.7% year-over-year, with assembly, testing and material revenue surging 53% to NT$51.29 billion. Additionally, Google expanded advanced packaging and testing orders for its TPU program, while Intel accelerated outsourcing via its EMIB advanced packaging platform. ASE Technology has also raised packaging and testing prices by 5% to 10%, with high-end packaging capacity increasingly tight.
