Cathay Financial stock (ISIN TW0002882008) was last at TWD 111.50 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 2, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. TST, up 0.90 percent from the prior session. The latest company-specific earnings signal was August after-tax profit of TWD 11.3 billion, reported by MarketScreener on September 14, 2026.

August profit adds a fresh earnings marker

The August result gives Cathay Financial a concrete earnings checkpoint after its first-half reporting cycle. MarketScreener also listed Cathay Financial's first-half 2026 profit at TWD 76.3 billion in its September coverage.

The two figures place the monthly result in a broader operating context: August profit represented 14.8 percent of the TWD 76.3 billion first-half total. That comparison is arithmetic based on the two reported figures and shows why monthly profit updates matter for a financial holding company with insurance and banking operations.

Analyst target leaves limited upside

The analyst picture is constructive but numerically restrained. MarketScreener showed a Buy average recommendation from 10 analysts, with an average price target of TWD 116.76 on September 7, 2026.

At TWD 111.50, the average target lies 4.7 percent above the October 2 price. The target therefore points to a measured valuation gap rather than a large rerating signal, while the August profit figure provides the more recent operating reference.

Stock remains near its yearly high

Cathay Financial's TWD 111.50 price stood 8.2 percent below the TWD 121.50 52-week high and 75.6 percent above the TWD 63.50 low as of October 2, 2026. The position near the upper end of the range makes the latest earnings update relevant for judging whether profit momentum can support the valuation.
