Formosa Chemicals & Fibre (TW0001326007) stock closed at TWD 71.70 on October 2, 2026, gaining 5.91 percent on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Foreign investors bought 22,015 lots during the session, giving the move a clear flow-driven signal, according to ToAlpha.

Foreign buying sets the daily tone

The closing price stood below the 52-week high of TWD 78.20 and above the 52-week low of TWD 27.35 on October 2, 2026. The session range ran from TWD 68.20 to TWD 72.60, while trading volume reached 56,169 lots.

The latest market data also show a sharp longer-term re-rating: the stock gained 57.8 percent over six months and 160.7 percent over one year through October 2, 2026, according to ToAlpha.

First-half earnings changed direction

According to Quartr in its September 16, 2026 earnings summary, first-half 2026 sales revenue reached TWD 168.9 billion, up 11 percent year-over-year. Net profit reached TWD 13.05 billion, reversing a net loss in the first half of 2025.

The profitability improvement was visible in several measures. First-half operating profit was TWD 5.05 billion versus a TWD 2.97 billion loss in the year-earlier period, while gross margin improved to 7 percent from 2.4 percent, according to Quartr.

Margins face raw material swings

Second-quarter sales increased 6.7 percent sequentially from the first quarter, but net profit stayed at TWD 6.5 billion, according to Quartr. The earnings summary identifies crude oil and petrochemical prices, product mix and geopolitical developments as key variables for margins.

For investors, the central contrast is clear: operating results improved sharply in the first half, while the latest share move also reflects substantial foreign buying. The next test is whether higher sales can translate into sustained operating profitability when feedstock prices shift.
