FactSet's October 5, 2026 survey put the China Steel target at TWD 21.50, which is 9.97 percent above the Taiwan-listed company's TWD 19.55 price. Cnyes reported that seven analysts had cut the median 2026 earnings-per-share estimate to TWD 0.15 from TWD 0.16. China Steel closed at TWD 19.55 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 16, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. TST, up 1.56 percent from TWD 19.25.
Profit returned in the first half
China Steel's operating picture improved during the first half of 2026. Net profit reached TWD 937 million after a loss in the comparable 2025 period, while first-half sales volume reached 3.74 million tons, according to Quartr on September 22, 2026. The figure matters because the analyst survey still points to only TWD 0.15 in median earnings per share for the full year.
Price sits below yearly high
The stock closed 9.49 percent below its TWD 21.60 52-week high and 11.08 percent above its TWD 17.60 low on October 16, 2026. Trading volume reached 65,846,976 shares, against an average of 36,299,585 shares. The session therefore delivered 1.81 times the average volume, a concrete sign of heavier activity rather than a new price extreme.
Valuation and next date
China Steel had a market capitalization of TWD 298.0 billion on October 16, 2026. Its annualized dividend yield was 0.77 percent, while the survey's TWD 21.50 target stood 9.97 percent above the closing price. The next earnings date is October 30, 2026, according to Makkler.
