â–²(18.14% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:09/09/26
The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (especially a low-risk balance sheet) and a very positive earnings call with guidance confidence and broad operational momentum. Technicals are supportive but tempered by overbought signals, while valuation is a notable headwind given the higher P/E despite a moderate dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Enterprise ICT growth
Rapid ICT growth broadens Chunghwa’s business beyond traditional connectivity into higher-value data, cloud, cybersecurity, and infrastructure services. Recurring ICT expansion and strong order intake support a more diversified revenue base and provide durable growth opportunities over the next several quarters.
Negative Factors
Lumpy ICT and international revenue
Project-based ICT and international work can make reported growth uneven because revenue recognition depends on delivery timing. Although the pipeline is strong, this lumpiness may create volatility in quarterly results and reduce the predictability of near-term earnings compared with subscription-led telecom revenue.

Chunghwa Telecom Co Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Aug 05, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Nov 04, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a strongly positive operational and financial performance: record Q2 revenue and EPS, robust ICT and international growth, solid mobile and broadband metrics, significant AI infrastructure progress, and healthy cash flow and balance sheet metrics. The main risks noted were project‑driven volatility in ICT/international revenues, limited near‑term visibility on the economics of new AIDC/IOWN investments, and some seasonal/liquidity timing effects (dividend payables and inventory). Overall the positives—broad‑based revenue growth, margin expansion, and clear execution on AI and ICT contracts—materially outweigh the manageable risks.Positive Updates
Record Quarterly and H1 Revenue
Consolidated Q2 revenue reached TWD 61.36 billion, an 8.2% year‑over‑year increase and the highest Q2 top line since 2010. First half revenue rose 7.8% YoY, providing strong momentum toward full‑year targets.
Negative Updates
Project‑Driven / Lumpy ICT and International Revenue
A large portion of the international and ICT growth is driven by significant project deliveries (e.g., U.S. AI supply‑chain projects). Management acknowledged quarter‑to‑quarter volatility in ICT revenue, implying potential lumpiness and timing risk in future results despite a strong pipeline.
