Winbond's revenue has set successive record highs, yet its share price fell under selling pressure — bad news for investors who chased the stock higher, though the broader trend of rising memory prices still works in the company's favour.

• Winbond's September revenue topped NT$28 billion for the first time, a 10th consecutive monthly record, and third-quarter revenue also climbed to a single-quarter high.
• The strong revenue failed to stir buying interest; memory stocks have been broadly sluggish in recent days, and the share price fluctuated near its lows to close slightly lower.
• The momentum behind price increases remains: demand for niche DRAM and SLC NAND exceeds supply, while NOR Flash prices continue to rise as cloud operators actively build inventory.
• Winbond acquired Infineon's NOR Flash and F-RAM businesses for US$1.12 billion, which is expected to broaden its customer base in automotive, industrial control and servers; institutional investors maintain a "buy" rating with a target price of NT$218.
• The broader market, meanwhile, surged more than 1,200 points to close at 49,712, another record closing high, with foreign investors net buyers of nearly NT$71.9 billion in a single day. TSMC hit an all-time high intraday, but individual stocks such as AUO were heavily sold off.

Outlook: Continued strength in memory prices and the benefits of the acquisition support the fundamentals, but with the broader index approaching 50,000 and selling pressure emerging at these elevated levels, the share price may first consolidate in the near term.
