CHT stock reports record August operating results
Published on 10/07/2026 at 10:38 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
CHT stock (ISIN US17133Q5027) closed at TWD 145.50 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026, down 0.34 percent from the prior close. The underlying company then delivered a fresh operating signal as Chunghwa Telecom reported record August revenue and earnings metrics on September 10, 2026.
August revenue reaches TWD 23.31 billion
Unaudited consolidated revenue reached TWD 23.31 billion in August 2026, while operating income was TWD 5.62 billion and net income attributable to shareholders was TWD 4.44 billion. EBITDA came to TWD 9.05 billion and EPS was TWD 0.57, with each figure reaching a record for the month, according to the SEC filing dated September 10, 2026.
The growth was not limited to one monthly figure. August sales increased 25.61 percent year over year, while revenue for January through August rose 9.50 percent to TWD 164.55 billion, based on the company's consolidated disclosure.
ICT orders strengthen the growth mix
Chunghwa Telecom said ICT and other revenue increased 100 percent year over year in August 2026, with ICT revenue growing more than 50 percent. Cloud installation, transportation information systems and smart energy projects supported the increase, while the accumulated ICT contract value surpassed the company's full-year target ahead of schedule.
The January through August figures add operating depth to the monthly result: operating income reached TWD 36.43 billion, net income attributable to shareholders was TWD 28.53 billion and EPS was TWD 3.68. The company said those figures exceeded its guidance for the period, a claim detailed in its September 10 release.
Consensus stays below the latest close
Analyst positioning provides a more cautious counterpoint to the operating figures. MarketScreener reported a Hold consensus from six analysts on September 23, 2026, with an average target of TWD 136.50 against a last close of TWD 145.50.
For investors, the key tension is clear: current operating data point to faster ICT expansion, while the published consensus target remains below the latest Taiwan listing close. CHT stock therefore combines a measurable earnings trend with a valuation checkpoint that has yet to move in line with the August figures.
Third quarter date is set
StockTitan reported that Chunghwa Telecom will hold its third-quarter 2026 investor conference on November 4, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Taipei time. That event gives the market its next scheduled checkpoint for ICT orders, margins and the full-year performance trajectory.
