Fubon Financial Holding announced a record-breaking pre-tax profit of NT$97.34 billion for the first six months of 2026, significantly exceeding its previous annual profit records. This strong performance positions the company for a potentially record-breaking year.
All of Fubon's key subsidiaries contributed to this achievement, with Taipei Fubon Bank, Fubon Insurance, Fubon Securities, and Fubon Asset Management each posting their highest-ever profits for the first half of the year. Fubon Life also reported record net profit for the period, bolstered by gains from the disposal of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The company's financial health remains robust, with its net worth ratio exceeding 15% by the end of June, a notable increase from 11.5% in the first quarter. Fubon Financial Holding's total profit, including FVOCI equity disposals, reached NT$188.41 billion for the first half, surpassing its entire profit from previous full years. The earnings per share (EPS) stood at NT$13.17 on a total basis.
Taipei Fubon Bank's profits surged 36% year-on-year in June, marking the first time its monthly profit surpassed NT$5 billion, driven by dividend income, loan and deposit growth, and wealth management expansion. Fubon Securities saw a remarkable 172% increase in cumulative profit for the first half, exceeding its entire 2025 profit, largely due to active stock market trading boosting brokerage and wealth management revenues. Fubon Asset Management also experienced significant growth, with its assets under management surpassing NT$1.6 trillion.
