Chunghwa Telecom stock (ISIN US17133Q5027) was last at USD 46.16 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, up 1.34 percent on the session. The stronger market snapshot followed operating results showing TWD 23.31 billion in August revenue and TWD 0.57 earnings per share, according to Chunghwa Telecom on September 10, 2026.

August revenue sets the pace

The August release reported operating income of TWD 5.62 billion, net income attributable to parent-company shareholders of TWD 4.44 billion and EBITDA of TWD 9.05 billion. Revenue, operating income, EBITDA and EPS each reached a record for the same month, giving the latest monthly data a clear operating signal.

The year-to-date comparison is even more important for valuation. Revenue for January through August 2026 reached TWD 164.55 billion versus TWD 150.27 billion a year earlier, an increase of 9.50 percent, while net income rose 8.35 percent to TWD 28.53 billion from TWD 26.33 billion, based on the company release.

Digital services add growth

Chunghwa Telecom said ICT revenue increased 100 percent year over year in August, while ICT contract value had already surpassed the full-year target. Mobile service revenue increased nearly 3 percent, fixed broadband revenue rose 3.4 percent and broadband subscribers using packages of at least 300 Mbps grew 14.3 percent, according to the September 10 release.

That mix matters because the company is combining mature telecom cash flow with cloud, cybersecurity, data-center and AI-related demand. The release also said international private leased circuit revenue rose more than 60 percent year over year in August, tying network investment to cross-border AI traffic rather than relying only on consumer pricing.

Analyst upgrade meets a high range

MarketBeat reported on September 19, 2026, that Zacks Research upgraded Chunghwa Telecom from Strong Sell to Hold. MarketBeat also cited a Hold consensus from two analysts, while the stock opened at USD 45.96 and had a 52-week range of USD 39.28 to USD 46.48.

A separate Gekko update dated September 24, 2026, placed the average 12-month analyst target at USD 48.08 against a USD 46.07 close, or 4.4 percent above that reference price. The target leaves the latest share price below the 52-week high, but the August figures provide the operating reason for the market's higher valuation.

CHT stock stays near its yearly high

CHT was last at USD 46.16 on the NYSE at 4:00 p.m. EDT on October 2, 2026, with a session range of USD 45.73 to USD 46.16 and volume of 193,023 shares. Its market capitalization was USD 35.8 billion, and the 52-week range stood at USD 39.28 to USD 46.48.
