Cathay Financial (ISIN TW0002882008) reported TWD 6.70 billion in net profit for September 2026, according to MarketScreener on October 19, 2026. The update gives investors a fresh monthly earnings marker after the company reported strong first-half results in August.

Monthly profit resets the comparison

September profit was TWD 6.70 billion, down 40.71 percent from TWD 11.30 billion in August 2026. The two monthly figures came from separate MarketScreener reports dated September 15 and October 19, 2026, so the comparison describes month-to-month movement rather than a year-over-year trend.

The latest figure also sits below Cathay Financial's second-quarter net income of TWD 44.68 billion. That quarterly result covered the three months ended June 30, 2026, and was reported alongside earnings per share of TWD 2.79 in the financial data.

What does the first-half result show?

Investing.com summarized Cathay Financial's first-half 2026 net profit at TWD 76.50 billion and said Cathay United Bank's loan balance reached TWD 3.10 trillion, up 14.00 percent from a year earlier. The same summary said management raised its full-year net interest margin guidance from 1.61 percent to a range of 1.63 percent to 1.65 percent.

That combination matters because the banking franchise provides a quantified growth counterweight to the softer September monthly result. Cathay Life also generated TWD 53.90 billion in new business contractual service margin during the first half, according to the same Investing.com summary.
