Giant stock (ISIN TW0009921007) fell 0.56% to TWD 88.60 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026, extending a five-session decline. The move contrasts with a sharp second-quarter earnings recovery, as Giant Group reported net profit growth of 234% and second-quarter EPS of TWD 1.62.

Profit rebounds in Q2

According to Cnyes on September 10, 2026, second-quarter revenue reached TWD 16.67 billion, up 5.8% from the prior year. Gross margin recovered to 24.2%, while net profit reached TWD 630 million, compared with a loss in the first quarter.

The half-year picture is more measured. Revenue totaled TWD 29.19 billion in the first half of 2026, gross margin was 22.3%, and EPS reached TWD 1.11, with gross margin up 3.2 percentage points from the prior-year period, according to Giant Group.

August sales turn positive

August consolidated revenue rose 3.21% year over year to TWD 5.186 billion, although it declined 9.94% from July. Revenue for January through August stood at TWD 40.131 billion, down 3.21% from the same period in 2025, according to Cnyes.

The mix matters for investors. Giant said own-brand revenue increased 17% in August, supported by China and Europe, while the US business remained affected by supply restrictions linked to the WRO issue and weaker consumer confidence.

Stock remains below yearly high

Giant stock's price action is still weaker than the earnings trend. The TWD 88.60 close on October 6, 2026, followed five declining sessions and a cumulative five-session fall of 5.84%, according to the cited market report.

The key test is whether improved margins and own-brand demand can offset pressure in original-equipment manufacturing and the unresolved US supply issue. The second-quarter rebound provides a concrete improvement, but the eight-month revenue decline shows that the recovery remains uneven.
