The move came as the specialty chemicals producer showed a sharper second-quarter recovery, with revenue rising 19.08 percent from the first quarter to TWD 1.55 billion.
Quarterly revenue accelerates
According to AHI Journal in its figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Asia Polymer generated TWD 1.55 billion in revenue, compared with TWD 1.30 billion in Q1 2026.
The earnings shift was even more pronounced. Net income reached TWD 29.71 million in Q2 2026 after a TWD 120.24 million loss in Q1, while quarterly EPS was TWD 0.05 after negative EPS of TWD 0.20 in the preceding quarter.
August sales support the trend
Monthly data added another operating checkpoint. Dow Jones Newswires reported August revenue of TWD 518.71 million, up from TWD 459.87 million in August 2025, while January through August revenue reached TWD 3.87 billion versus TWD 3.80 billion a year earlier.
Asia Polymer produces low-density polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate resin for packaging, films, photovoltaic applications, footwear materials and adhesives. The product mix leaves the company exposed to petrochemical spreads and demand from downstream processors, making the return to quarterly profitability an important operating test.
