CHT stock holds at USD 43.21 after a firm ADR close

CHT stock (ISIN US17133Q2090) held at USD 43.21 after the New York ADR rose USD 0.22, or 0.51 percent, to that level on September 1, 2026. Money-Link also said the ADR was equivalent to about TWD 136.82 per share.

ADR level stays firm

The same source listed an intraday range of USD 42.85 to USD 43.26 and a 10-to-1 ADR ratio, giving investors a clean snapshot of the depositary receipt on September 1, 2026. That leaves the move modest, but it also keeps the stock above the USD 43 mark.

FXEmpire's CHT technical page showed the ADR at USD 43.21 and a pre-market print of USD 43.22, which confirms that the latest quote stayed close to the prior close. A first.

Revenue and profit backdrop

For the latest reported operating backdrop, Chunghwa Telecom posted revenue of TWD 110.6 billion for the first half of 2026, up 3.8 percent from a year earlier, while net income reached TWD 19.2 billion and EPS came to TWD 2.34, according to the company's interim figures. That combination matters because earnings growth outpaced the top line by a wide margin.

In the second quarter of 2026 alone, revenue reached TWD 55.5 billion and net income was TWD 9.5 billion, giving the stock a fresh earnings anchor as the market watches telecom cash generation. The quarterly numbers also show that the first-half result was built on a consistent run rate, not a single strong month.

Mobile and fiber mix

Chunghwa Telecom's mobile and fixed-line base remains the core product story behind the numbers, with broadband and enterprise services continuing to support the revenue mix in the first half of 2026. The 3.8 percent first-half revenue rise suggests that connectivity demand is still doing the heavy lifting.

For investors, the important point is the spread between the TWD 110.6 billion half-year revenue base and the TWD 19.2 billion net profit line, which signals a telecom business that is still converting sales into earnings at scale.

Stock level to watch

At September 1, 2026, the ADR stood at USD 43.21, with the latest quoted pre-market level at USD 43.22 and the same-day Taiwan equivalent around TWD 136.82. The stock is therefore trading in a tight band around the last close.
