Shin Kong stock joined Taiwan's financial rally on October 12, 2026, as the sector gained 2.87 percent and the merger theme involving Taishin Financial and Shin Kong Financial continued. Biggo reported that Shin Kong Financial shares rose nearly half a daily limit during the session.

Merger milestones carry the story

The merger background is substantial. The Banking Bureau said on August 4, 2026, that Taishin Bank would survive the merger with Taiwan Shin Kong Commercial Bank. Taishin Financial Holding and Shin Kong Financial Holding had completed their holding-company merger on July 24, 2025, creating Taishin Shin Kong Financial Holding.

The same regulatory release set a provisional merger date of January 1, 2027. It also described a combined surviving bank with TWD 4.7 trillion in assets, TWD 170.3 billion in capital and 204 domestic branches as of March 31, 2026.

What does the merger change?

The scale explains why the merger remains central to the stock narrative. The combined bank's TWD 4.7 trillion asset base compares with TWD 3.3 trillion at Taishin Bank and TWD 1.4 trillion at Shin Kong Bank at the end of March 2026, according to the Banking Bureau.

Six-month earnings add scale

TradingView reported that the successor group recorded TWD 43.8 billion in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Total assets reached TWD 9.39 trillion, while the capital adequacy ratio stood at 118.77 percent.

Those figures describe the successor group's reporting base rather than a standalone Shin Kong quarter. They nevertheless give investors a concrete scale marker as the merger moves toward January 1, 2027, and they place the TWD 4.7 trillion banking combination within a much larger financial holding group.

Next merger date is January 1, 2027

The next disclosed milestone is the provisional January 1, 2027 merger date for the surviving bank, according to the Banking Bureau. For Shin Kong stock, the central figures are the TWD 4.7 trillion banking asset base, the TWD 43.8 billion six-month net income of the successor group and the 118.77 percent capital adequacy ratio.
