Taishin stock (ISIN TW0002887007) was last at TWD 42.15 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, up 1.69 percent from the prior close. The central issue is the enlarged financial group, whose six-month earnings now reflect the Shin Kong Financial Holding merger and IFRS 17 adoption.

Merger lifts first-half earnings

According to TradingView on September 30, 2026, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, reached TWD 43.8 billion. The same report put total assets at TWD 9.39 trillion and the capital adequacy ratio at 118.77 percent.

The earnings figure gives Taishin a larger base than the pre-merger group, but it also makes integration the key operating question. Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission said the merger of Taishin International Bank and Taiwan Shin Kong Commercial Bank has a provisional effective date of January 1, 2027.

Analysts remain below the market

The valuation signal is more cautious than the daily move. Investing.com lists a Neutral consensus from five analysts, with two Buy ratings, two Holds and one Sell.

The average 12-month target is TWD 33.89, while the high and low targets are TWD 48.00 and TWD 23.90. Against the TWD 42.15 market price, the average target is TWD 8.26 lower, leaving the integration story to justify the gap between current trading and analyst valuation.

Stock sits below its yearly high

Taishin stock was last at TWD 42.15 on October 7, 2026, with a session range of TWD 41.50 to TWD 42.25. The 52-week range runs from TWD 17.82 to TWD 45.50, so the price is TWD 3.35 below the yearly high after a 1.69 percent daily gain.

Market capitalization stood at TWD 1.1 trillion on October 7, 2026, and trading volume reached 27,137,021 shares. For investors, the next measurable checkpoint is whether the enlarged bank group can convert the TWD 43.8 billion first-half profit into sustainable results after the January 2027 merger date.
