KGI Financial stock fell 2.47 percent on October 8

KGI Financial stock fell 2.47 percent to TWD 37.55 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 8, 2026, while the group's latest earnings showed record-setting profit but also a banking loss tied to additional provisions. The price stood 13.1 percent below the 52-week high of TWD 43.20 and above the 52-week low of TWD 14.90.

Eight-month profit reaches TWD 36.29 billion

According to KGI Financial on September 11, 2026, profit after tax reached TWD 36.29 billion for the first eight months of 2026, with earnings per share of TWD 2.11. The company said the result surpassed its previous full-year profit records, but TWD 50.006 billion of year-to-date stock disposal gains means the result includes a major investment-related contribution.

The August figure itself was TWD 5.761 billion after tax. The release said August FVOCI stock disposal gains reached TWD 5.161 billion, making the one-off item essential to any reading of the monthly profit number.

Insurance and securities drive growth

KGI Life generated TWD 91.3 billion in new contract premium income during the first eight months, up 94 percent year over year. Investment-linked new contract premium income reached TWD 47.8 billion, a 473 percent increase, while August investment-linked premium income rose 602 percent year over year to TWD 8.7 billion.

Securities delivered TWD 22.754 billion in net profit after tax during the first eight months, up 235 percent year over year, according to the same September 11 release. Banking was the counterweight: KGI Bank posted an August net loss after tax of TWD 299 million because of additional provisions for green-energy lending, although its cumulative pre-provision profit rose 16 percent year over year to TWD 6.789 billion.
