- September revenue increased 11.39 percent year over year on October 5, 2026.

Taiwan HSR (TW0002633005) reported September revenue of TWD 4.718 billion, up 11.39 percent year over year on October 5, 2026. For Taiwan HSR stock, the more important investor question is whether higher passenger demand is translating into durable earnings growth.
Three operating milestones
On September 15, 2026, Quartr reported that first-half 2026 passenger-kilometers increased 4.30 percent year over year and total ridership reached 42 million. The same summary put average daily ridership at 233,000 and load factor at 72.10 percent.
On October 5, 2026, Radio Taiwan International reported that Taiwan High Speed Rail planned two additional trains per hour on southbound routes during the October holiday period. The report also cited a record 348,000 passengers on September 24, 2026.
On October 5, 2026, Yahoo Finance Taiwan reported September revenue of TWD 4.718 billion versus TWD 4.236 billion a year earlier. Revenue for the first nine months reached TWD 41.781 billion, up 4.17 percent from the comparable period.
What does revenue growth mean
Quartr said first-half 2026 revenue rose 4.00 percent to TWD 27.80 billion, while net income after tax increased 8.00 percent to TWD 3.75 billion. Earnings per share reached TWD 0.67, and operating cash flow rose to TWD 13.6 billion.
The comparison matters because the 11.39 percent September revenue increase was stronger than the 4.17 percent cumulative growth through September. That gap points to an acceleration in the latest monthly operating data, although the first-half load factor of 72.10 percent shows that capacity utilization remains a central measure for the rail operator.
Stock stays above its yearly low
Taiwan HSR stock was at TWD 25.90 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 14, 2026 at 9:12 a.m. CST. The price stood 4.44 percent above its TWD 24.80 52-week low and below the TWD 29.20 52-week high, while market capitalization was TWD 145.8 billion on the same date.
For investors, the latest operating picture combines stronger September revenue with higher first-half net income and a measurable ridership base. The next analytical checkpoint is whether monthly revenue can sustain the 4.17 percent year-to-date growth rate as the company expands services.
