Cathay Financial stock was trading at TWD 111 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on September 24, 2026, 5.53 percent below its 52-week high of TWD 117.50. The valuation comes as the financial group reports record first half earnings and fresh August profit.
Record profit sets the tone
According to Yahoo Finance on September 1, 2026, Cathay Financial delivered record first half 2026 net income of TWD 76.5 billion and earnings per share of TWD 4.95. Net income plus after-tax FVOCI equity disposal gains reached TWD 165.9 billion, exceeding the full-year 2025 level.
The comparison matters because the first half already surpassed the prior full-year benchmark on the broader earnings measure. It gives the stock a clear fundamental counterweight to its 0.45 percent intraday decline on September 24, 2026.
August adds another data point
Marketscreener reported on September 15, 2026, that Cathay Financial booked after-tax profit of TWD 11.3 billion in August. The monthly figure extends the earnings narrative beyond the six-month reporting period and gives investors a more recent operating checkpoint.
Finance data show second quarter 2026 revenue of TWD 86,565,000,000, net income of TWD 40,975,121,000 and earnings per share of TWD 2.79. The quarter therefore contributed more than half of the TWD 76.5 billion first half net income cited in the earnings coverage.
