China Steel raised November steel prices by TWD 900 per ton on October 6, 2026, while China Steel stock was last quoted at TWD 19.20 on October 12, 2026, 11.11 percent below its TWD 21.60 52-week high.

November prices rise by TWD 900
According to Tritonix on October 6, 2026, China Steel increased prices for five major steel products by an average of TWD 900 per ton for November deliveries. The report attributed the increase to higher raw-material costs and seasonal demand, putting pricing power ahead of the companys next earnings update.
Three dated company milestones
On September 22, 2026, Quartr summarized China Steels investor presentation, which reported Jan-Jul 2026 operating revenue of TWD 197.7 billion, up 3 percent year over year. On October 6, 2026, the TWD 900 per ton price increase became the latest operating signal. On October 12, 2026, China Steel stock stood at TWD 19.20, compared with its TWD 21.60 yearly high.
What does the recovery mean for earnings?
Quartr reported that consolidated net profit reached TWD 937 million in the first half of 2026, compared with a loss in the first half of 2025. Standalone sales volume reached 3.74 million tons in the first half of 2026, while Advanced Premium Steel contributed 390,000 tons, or 11.5 percent of volume, and more than 90 percent of gross profit.
The figures point to a sharper mix effect than the headline profit number alone suggests. China Steel is targeting a higher share of advanced products, but the same presentation cited energy costs, trade barriers and high inventories as constraints on the broader steel market.
