Uni-President reported beverage weakness as Uni-President stock stayed below its TWD 80.70 52-week high. As min.news reported on October 7, 2026, the company's beverage business recorded weaker performance in the first half of 2026.

Packaged water revenue declines

Packaged water and coffee revenue reached TWD 496.0 million in the first half of 2026, down 1.10 percent from the same period of 2025, according to 36Kr. The figure gives investors a more specific measure of the pressure than the broader description of a weaker beverage market.

The same report said that Uni-President's milk tea business increased 7.30 percent in the first half of 2026. That contrast places the current issue in product mix: growth in milk tea is offsetting, but not eliminating, pressure in packaged water and other beverage categories.

Profit growth remains measurable

Uni-President's second-quarter 2026 earnings per share reached TWD 1.41, up 45.40 percent from TWD 0.97 in the second quarter of 2025, according to IT Boltwise on September 30, 2026. The result was also 22.60 percent above the TWD 1.15 reported for the first quarter of 2026.

For investors, the important split is therefore between earnings momentum and category demand. The earnings comparison is positive, while the packaged-water figure shows where product development and consumer preferences may influence the next reported periods.

Market value and next results date

Uni-President had a TWD 429.6 billion market value on October 8, 2026. Its 52-week range was TWD 68.50 to TWD 80.70, placing the latest Taiwan quote below the upper end of that range.

InvestPane lists November 5, 2026 as the next earnings date. That report should show whether the strong second-quarter earnings comparison is being accompanied by improved beverage sales.
