It's been a great afternoon session for United Microelectronics investors, who saw their shares rise 1.9% to a price of $7.94 per share. At these higher prices, is the company still fairly valued?

In contrast, United Microelectronics has a trailing 12 month P/E ratio of 8.9 and a P/B ratio of 0.28.
