China Steel raised November flat steel prices by TWD 900 per ton on October 7, 2026, while China Steel stock closed at TWD 18.95 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Mesteel reported the price increase for most domestic flat steel products, giving the announcement a direct read-through to pricing rather than volume alone.

November prices move higher

The TWD 900 increase applies to November deliveries and follows a second consecutive monthly price increase, according to Mesteel. The report linked the move to Taiwan's China Steel Corporation and its domestic flat steel products.

The price announcement matters because China Steel's latest operating figures show a return to profitability. Quartr reported that second-quarter 2026 net profit reached TWD 937 million, compared with a loss in the comparable 2025 period.

What does the price increase mean

The company sold 3.74 million tons in the first half of 2026, with domestic sales accounting for 58.55 percent and exports for 41.45 percent, according to Quartr. That mix leaves domestic pricing decisions especially important for revenue quality and near-term margins.

The same September 22, 2026 presentation showed Advanced Premium Steel sales of 390,000 tons in the first half, equal to 11.50 percent of sales volume and more than 90.00 percent of gross profits, according to Quartr. The figures suggest that product mix remains as important as the headline steel-price increase.

Three dated operating markers

On June 30, 2026, second-quarter net profit reached TWD 937 million, according to Quartr. On September 22, 2026, China Steel presented first-half sales of 3.74 million tons and Advanced Premium Steel sales of 390,000 tons, also according to Quartr. On October 7, 2026, November flat steel prices increased by TWD 900 per ton, according to Mesteel.
