  • Fubon Financial Holding reported record-high profits for the first five months of 2026, reaching NT$87.85 billion.
  • All major subsidiaries, including Taipei Fubon Bank, Fubon Insurance, Fubon Securities, and Fubon Asset Management, also set new records for the period.
  • The company's adjusted profits surpassed previous full-year performance, driven by strong market conditions and strategic investments.

Fubon Financial Holding has announced record-breaking profits for the first five months of 2026, with consolidated after-tax earnings reaching NT$87.85 billion. This figure sets a new historical high for the same period. The company's earnings per share (EPS) after tax stood at NT$6.27.

All of Fubon Financial's key subsidiaries have contributed to this success. Taipei Fubon Bank, Fubon Insurance, Fubon Securities, and Fubon Asset Management all reported their highest-ever profits for both May and the cumulative first five months of the year. Fubon Life also achieved record-adjusted profits for the same periods.

The conglomerate's adjusted profits for the first five months totaled NT$159.18 billion, exceeding its entire profit from previous full years. Adjusted EPS reached NT$11.36. This remarkable performance was bolstered by the significant appreciation of the Taiwan Stock Exchange index, which rose nearly 15% in May, allowing Fubon to realize substantial capital gains.

Taipei Fubon Bank saw a 56% year-on-year increase in its May after-tax profit, reaching NT$4.16 billion. Its cumulative profit for the first five months grew 31% to NT$20.54 billion, also a historical high. This growth was driven by strong lending momentum, a rising net interest margin, and robust wealth management sales, particularly in insurance and funds, fueled by active capital markets.

Fubon Securities experienced a substantial 218% surge in cumulative profits for the first five months, reaching NT$8.42 billion, driven by a significant increase in daily stock trading volume and strong performance in brokerage and wealth management. Fubon Insurance and Fubon Asset Management also reported record profits, with the latter expanding its assets under management to over NT$1.5 trillion by the end of May.
