Price sits below yearly high

The trading picture is firm but not at the top of the annual range. Cathay Financial was TWD 49.50 above its 52-week low of TWD 63.50, and the October 12 volume of 17,943,108 shares was below the average of 21,102,323 shares.

That combination points to a market value shaped by both earnings expectations and the broader financial-stock cycle. The stock's 12.40 P/E ratio was below CTBC Financial's 16.46 and Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding's 17.99 on the same date.

Consensus target reaches TWD 126

On October 5, 2026, Cnyes reported a FactSet survey covering 10 analysts. The survey placed the 2026 earnings-per-share median at TWD 8.95 and the median price target at TWD 126.00.

The target stood TWD 13.00 above the October 12 price, a gap of 11.50 percent based on the target. The estimate is a forward-looking consensus measure rather than a guarantee, while the current 3.00 percent dividend yield remains a separate valuation input.
