China Steel Corporation (ISIN TW0002002003) raised domestic steel prices for November deliveries by TWD 900 per ton on October 7, 2026. MESteel reported that the increase covered most flat steel products and followed higher international steel prices and recovering demand.

Why did November prices rise?

The price decision gives China Steel a direct test for the fourth quarter because the higher list prices apply to November deliveries. The company is also exposed to input-cost pressure, making the gap between selling prices and raw-material costs important for margins.

China Steel's second-quarter 2026 revenue was TWD 88.84 billion, above the TWD 87.56 billion estimate, according to TradingView. Earnings per share reached TWD 0.13 against a TWD 0.10 estimate, a 25.15 percent surprise.

What does the price increase mean?

The latest operating data show a company moving from loss recovery toward modest profitability. On September 24, 2026, China Steel reported August pretax profit of TWD 723.5 million, while its second-quarter results covered the six months ended June 30, 2026, according to MarketScreener.

When are the next results?
