According to CnYes and Liberty Times (ec.ltn.com.tw) reports, CTBC Financial Holding (中信金) recorded a cumulative after-tax profit of NT$39.537 billion for the first half of 2026, an all-time high for the period, with earnings per share of NT$1.96. Subsidiary CTBC Bank (中信銀) posted H1 profit of NT$31.178 billion, up 12% year-on-year, while Taiwan Life (台灣人壽) contributed NT$10.276 billion.

What are the exact figures behind CTBC Financial Holding's record H1 profit?

According to a CnYes report, CTBC Financial Holding (中信金) earned NT$39.5 billion in after-tax profit in the first half of 2026, described as an all-time high for the period, with earnings per share (EPS) of NT$1.96 (E1). Liberty Times' ec.ltn.com.tw article, citing the company's own self-reported filing dated July 14, 2026, gives the more precise cumulative figure: NT$39.537 billion in consolidated after-tax profit for the first six months, which it says "再度刷新上半年獲利紀錄" (again broke the H1 profit record), with EPS confirmed at NT$1.96 (E3). The two sources are consistent on both the profit level and the EPS figure.

How did CTBC Bank perform in H1?

CTBC Bank (中信銀), the group's core banking subsidiary, reported June 2026 standalone after-tax profit of NT$4.233 billion. Cumulative profit for the first six months reached NT$31.178 billion, up 12% from the same period a year earlier, which the bank said marked its highest H1 profit on record (E4).

What drove growth in wealth management and lending at CTBC Bank?

According to the same July 14, 2026 self-reported filing, CTBC Bank's wealth management business was a standout performer, with revenue growing by more than 40% year-on-year. Loan volume also grew by nearly 20%, a pace that already exceeded the bank's full-year lending growth for the prior year (E5). These two business lines are cited directly alongside the bank's 12% profit growth figure reported for the same period (E4).

How did Taiwan Life contribute to profit and what was its business performance?

Taiwan Life (台灣人壽), the group's life insurance subsidiary, posted cumulative after-tax profit of NT$10.276 billion for the first half of 2026 (E6). The filing attributes part of this performance to strong sales of participating and investment-linked policies, noting that cumulative new contract premiums reached NT$64.1 billion, up 139% from the same period a year earlier (E7).

What were June's standalone monthly earnings for CTBC Financial Holding and its subsidiaries?

For June 2026 alone, CTBC Financial Holding reported standalone after-tax profit of NT$4.747 billion (E2). Within the group, CTBC Bank's June standalone profit was NT$4.233 billion (E4), while Taiwan Life's June standalone profit was NT$1.595 billion (E6). Together, the bank and the life insurer accounted for the bulk of the holding company's single-month result.

Taiwan LifeNT$1.595 billion (E6)NT$10.276 billion (E6)New contract premiums NT$64.1 billion, +139% YoY (E7)

What this means

The figures reported by CnYes and Liberty Times show that CTBC Bank's 12% year-on-year profit growth (E4) lines up with the more than 40% jump in wealth management revenue and nearly 20% loan growth cited for the same period (E5), suggesting these two business lines were closely tied to the bank's record H1 result. At the same time, Taiwan Life's 139% surge in new contract premiums (E7) came alongside a comparatively modest cumulative profit of NT$10.276 billion (E6) — the filings do not provide a year-on-year profit growth rate for Taiwan Life or for the parent holding company overall, so no comparison can be drawn between premium growth and profit growth at the insurance unit or at the group level beyond the absolute figures reported.
