Taiwan’s 13 Financial Holding Firms Eye NT$100 Billion Profit in First Two Months of 2026

Profits at Taiwan’s 13 listed financial holding companies reflect key financial-sector drivers including bank lending, wealth management, securities trading and life insurers’ investments. Their combined after-tax net profit reached NT$74.757 billion in January 2026, up 29.38% from a year earlier, with Cathay Financial leading the group at NT$14.61 billion. Brisk activity in Taiwan’s stock market and improving interest margins put the prospect of breaking NT$100 billion in the first two months of the year in the spotlight.

Profit for the first two months totaled NT$144.699 billion, a 37% increase that not only cleared NT$100 billion but also set a record for the period. Fubon Financial led with NT$30.69 billion, followed by Cathay Financial with NT$26.62 billion, CTBC Financial with NT$15.526 billion and Taishin Shin Kong Financial with NT$14.99 billion.
