TL;DR: "Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA, reporter Chiang Ming-yen (江明晏)) reported on July 13, 2026 (CNA#1471224): Taiwan's three major telecom carriers released June 2026 self-assessed results. Taiwan Mobile's June earnings per share (EPS) of NT$0.52 beat Chunghwa Telecom's NT$0.46 and Far EasTone's NT$0.38; Taiwan Mobile's first-half 2026 cumulative EPS of NT$2.86 \"took the EPS crown\" (CNA's wording). By carrier: Chunghwa Telecom's June self-assessed consolidated revenue was NT$21.34 billion, operating income NT$4.08 billion, net income attributable to parent NT$3.55 billion, EBITDA NT$7.5 billion, EPS NT$0.46; the company said June consolidated revenue rose 11.4% vs June 2025, and that June revenue and EBITDA both set record highs for the same period (June) of any year; cumulative through June: consolidated revenue NT$121.35 billion, net income attributable to parent NT$20.75 billion, EPS NT$2.68, with the company stating that cumulative revenue, operating income, pre-tax income, net income attributable to parent and EPS \"all exceeded the annual guidance targets\" (recorded verbatim; the comparison basis is not detailed in the source). Taiwan Mobile's June self-assessed consolidated revenue was NT$17.32 billion, net income NT$1.6 billion, EPS NT$0.52; June consolidated operating income rose 13% vs June 2025 and June net income rose 29% vs June 2025 (single-month basis); first-half cumulative: consolidated revenue NT$99.21 billion, operating income NT$12.05 billion (up 17% vs H1 2025), net income NT$8.69 billion (up 25% vs H1 2025), EPS NT$2.86 — note that the June single-month +29% and the H1 cumulative +25% are two different bases and must not be conflated. Far EasTone's June consolidated revenue was NT$9.622 billion (up 15.9% vs June 2025), consolidated EBITDA NT$3.489 billion (up 10.6%), net income NT$1.373 billion (up 19.1%), EPS NT$0.38; revenue set a record for the same period (June) of any year, while consolidated EBITDA, net income and EPS all set all-time single-month records; H1 cumulative: consolidated revenue NT$56.468 billion (up 10.1% vs H1 2025), net income NT$7.718 billion (up 16.7%), cumulative EPS NT$2.14; June mobile service revenue NT$5.285 billion (up 3.1% vs June 2025), postpaid ARPU up 2.6% vs June 2025, 5G penetration 49.3% (company's own claim of \"industry-leading\"). Caliber warning: Chunghwa's records are \"same-period (June) of any year\" records; only Far EasTone's are \"all-time single-month\" records — do not cross-contaminate.

TWSE OpenAPI June 2026 monthly-revenue registration data (this site's database archive; ADD_EVIDENCE/CORROBORATE, corroborates monthly revenue only): Chunghwa NT$21,342,447 thousand (21.342 billion; +11.4% vs June 2025), Taiwan Mobile NT$17,322,389 thousand (17.322 billion; +6.6% — the main article does not state Taiwan Mobile's June revenue growth rate; this is supplementary), Far EasTone NT$9,622,202 thousand (9.622 billion; +15.9%).

Body

Qualification first: zero verified official anchors — the "EPS crown" is a media comparison narrative built on company self-assessed figures

The main article is a CNA report (reporter Chiang Ming-yen (江明晏)) of July 13, 2026. The status of the numbers must be stated up front: all monthly profit figures for the three carriers are "company self-assessed" (自結) numbers relayed by CNA (and cnyes) reports — self-assessed means the company's own closing figures, not audited or reviewed by accountants; this site has not independently verified them, and they must not be cited as official endorsement or audited financial statements. The "EPS crown" is CNA's media comparison narrative based on company self-assessed figures — not any official ranking. The three TWSE OpenAPI monthly-revenue registration entries (this site's database archive) can corroborate only "June consolidated revenue" (including growth rates) — they cannot corroborate EPS, net income, EBITDA, or the "EPS crown" conclusion. [F-001][J-001] (CNA#1471224, 2026-07-13)

The June single-month race: Taiwan Mobile NT$0.52 > Chunghwa NT$0.46 > Far EasTone NT$0.38; Taiwan Mobile's H1 NT$2.86 takes the crown

Per the main article's lead: the three carriers released June results; Taiwan Mobile — "benefiting from AI-driven efficiency gains plus investment contributions" (CNA's summary wording) — posted June EPS of NT$0.52, beating Chunghwa's NT$0.46 and Far EasTone's NT$0.38; Taiwan Mobile's first-half cumulative EPS of NT$2.86 "took the EPS crown". The same article notes Chunghwa's June revenue and EBITDA were same-period records, and Far EasTone's June net income and EPS were single-month records. [F-001] (CNA#1471224)

Chunghwa Telecom: June revenue NT$21.34 billion, up 11.4% vs June 2025 — revenue and EBITDA both same-period (June) records

Chunghwa's June self-assessed figures: consolidated revenue NT$21.34 billion, operating income NT$4.08 billion, net income attributable to parent NT$3.55 billion, EBITDA NT$7.5 billion, EPS NT$0.46. The company said June consolidated revenue rose 11.4% vs June 2025, driven by continued strong ICT business growth, sustained iPhone sales momentum, and steady core telecom growth; June revenue and EBITDA both set "record highs for the same period of any year" — note this is a "same-period (June)" caliber, not an "all-time single-month record". [F-002] Cumulative through June: consolidated revenue NT$121.35 billion, net income attributable to parent NT$20.75 billion, EPS NT$2.68; the company emphasized that cumulative revenue, operating income, pre-tax income, net income attributable to parent and EPS "all exceeded the annual guidance targets" — recorded verbatim; the comparison basis (full-year target vs period progress target) is not detailed in the source and is not interpreted here. [F-003] The TWSE OpenAPI June 2026 monthly-revenue registration data (this site's archive) lists Chunghwa's monthly revenue at NT$21,342,447 thousand (archive notation: 21.342 billion), +11.4% vs June 2025 — consistent with the main article's NT$21.34 billion and 11.4% (ADD_EVIDENCE/CORROBORATE; corroborates monthly revenue only). [F-012] (CNA#1471224; TWSE#1511558)

Taiwan Mobile: H1 net income NT$8.69 billion, up 25% vs H1 2025 — the June single-month +29% is a separate basis

Taiwan Mobile's June self-assessed figures: consolidated revenue NT$17.32 billion, net income NT$1.6 billion, EPS NT$0.52. H1 cumulative: consolidated revenue NT$99.21 billion, operating income NT$12.05 billion (up 17% vs H1 2025), net income NT$8.69 billion (up 25% vs H1 2025), EPS NT$2.86. [F-005] June operations (company statements, all single-month vs June 2025): in core telecom, smartphone postpaid ARPU and mobile service revenue both rose nearly 3%; home business revenue rose 16%; enterprise business revenue posted double-digit growth on government projects and steady AIDC contribution; momo revenue rose 6%. On profit: the company said AI upgrade programs such as "Superman Project" and "Taiwan Mobile Lobster" (台灣大龍蝦) kept raising operating efficiency, with June consolidated operating income up 13% vs June 2025; adding equity-method strategic investments such as 精誠 and valuation gains, June net income rose 29% vs June 2025. [F-004][F-006] Caliber warning: the June single-month net income +29% and the H1 cumulative +25% are two different figures; do not conflate them when citing. [J-003] The TWSE OpenAPI archive lists Taiwan Mobile's June 2026 monthly revenue at NT$17,322,389 thousand (archive notation: 17.322 billion), +6.6% vs June 2025 — the main article does not state Taiwan Mobile's June revenue growth rate; this +6.6% is supplementary from the TWSE archive (ADD_EVIDENCE) and is a monthly-revenue caliber only. [F-013] (CNA#1471224; TWSE#1511757)

Far EasTone: EBITDA, net income and EPS all at all-time single-month records — a different caliber from Chunghwa's "same-period record"

Far EasTone's June: consolidated revenue NT$9.622 billion (up 15.9% vs June 2025), consolidated EBITDA NT$3.489 billion (up 10.6%), net income NT$1.373 billion (up 19.1%), EPS NT$0.38. Caliber pinned down: June revenue "set a new record for the same period of any year" (= highest June ever); consolidated EBITDA, net income and EPS "all set all-time single-month records" (= highest of any single month) — the "all-time single-month record" caliber belongs to Far EasTone; do not cross-contaminate with Chunghwa's "same-period record". [F-007] H1 cumulative: consolidated revenue NT$56.468 billion (up 10.1% vs H1 2025), net income NT$7.718 billion (up 16.7%), cumulative EPS NT$2.14; the cumulative consolidated EBITDA amount differs between two sources — see next section. [F-008] Core telecom: June mobile service revenue NT$5.285 billion (up 3.1% vs June 2025); with users continuing to upgrade to 5G, postpaid ARPU rose 2.6% vs June 2025; 5G penetration 49.3% (the source reads "further rose to 49.3%" and "firmly industry-leading" = the company's own claim, recorded verbatim). [F-009] The TWSE OpenAPI archive lists Far EasTone's June 2026 monthly revenue at NT$9,622,202 thousand (archive notation: 9.622 billion), +15.9% — consistent with the main article. [F-014] (CNA#1471224; TWSE#1454195)

CORROBORATE + two-source discrepancy: cnyes matches Far EasTone's June figures, but cumulative H1 EBITDA reads "CNA NT$20.231 billion vs cnyes NT$23.231 billion"

The cnyes (Anue Juheng) report of July 10, 2026 (three days before the main article) corroborates Far EasTone's June figures: revenue NT$9.622 billion (up 1.3% vs May 2026; up 15.9% vs June 2025), EBITDA NT$3.489 billion (up 3.5% MoM; up 10.59% YoY), net income NT$1.373 billion (up 3.5% MoM; up 19.08% YoY), EPS NT$0.38; it likewise reports "revenue at a same-period record; EBITDA, net income and EPS at all-time single-month records" — consistent with the main article (10.59%/19.08% round to the main article's 10.6%/19.1%; cnyes' "稅後純益" and CNA's "稅後淨利" are two outlets' terms for after-tax profit, recorded as-is). cnyes additionally carries Q2 figures: revenue NT$28.664 billion (up 3.09% vs Q1 2026; up 13.63% vs Q2 2025), EBITDA NT$10.155 billion (up 0.78% QoQ; up 8.12% YoY), net income NT$4.009 billion (up 8.09% QoQ; up 18.82% YoY), EPS NT$1.11; and relays Far EasTone's statement that all H1 financial metrics exceeded guidance targets, with the achievement rate for net income and EPS at 113% (comparison basis not detailed in the source; recorded verbatim). [F-010] Two-source discrepancy warning: for Far EasTone's cumulative H1 consolidated EBITDA, the CNA main article reports NT$20.231 billion while cnyes reports NT$23.231 billion; both report the same +7.2% growth (vs H1 2025) — this card records both sources, does not adjudicate, and does not infer which is a misprint; any citation of this figure must note the discrepancy.

Event chain (CONNECT): the single-month EPS crown as covered by the March–June CNA reports (one change of hands, to Chunghwa in April) — the cumulative crown stayed with Taiwan Mobile at every reported checkpoint

Chained from prior CNA reports (all figures company self-assessed, relayed by CNA): - March / Q1 (CNA#87654, 2026-04-10): Taiwan Mobile posted March EPS NT$0.49 and Q1 EPS NT$1.37 (Q1 net income NT$4.15 billion, up 13% vs Q1 2025), "taking the single-month and Q1 EPS crowns"; Chunghwa March NT$0.42, Q1 NT$1.30; Far EasTone March NT$0.34, Q1 NT$1.03 (Q1 net income NT$3.708 billion, up 14.4% vs Q1 2025). [F-017] - April (CNA#354426, 2026-05-11): Chunghwa's April EPS NT$0.48 beat Taiwan Mobile's NT$0.47, "retaking the single-month EPS crown"; but Taiwan Mobile's January–April cumulative EPS NT$1.84 still exceeded Chunghwa's NT$1.78; Far EasTone's April EPS NT$0.36 was a record for any April. [F-016] - May (CNA#885792, 2026-06-10): Taiwan Mobile posted May EPS NT$0.50 and January–May cumulative NT$2.34, "retaking the single-month crown and defending the 5-month cumulative crown"; Chunghwa NT$0.44 / NT$2.22; Far EasTone NT$0.37 / NT$1.76. [F-015] - June / H1 (main article, CNA#1471224, 2026-07-13): Taiwan Mobile NT$0.52 / H1 NT$2.86, both crowns; Chunghwa NT$0.46 / NT$2.68; Far EasTone NT$0.38 / NT$2.14. [F-001]

That is: within the March–June 2026 reports covered by this card's source material, the single-month EPS crown changed hands to Chunghwa once, in April (Chunghwa NT$0.48, Taiwan Mobile NT$0.47; CNA's wording is "beat"); the March, May and June single-month crowns and the cumulative crown at every reported checkpoint (Q1 NT$1.37, 4-month NT$1.84, 5-month NT$2.34, H1 NT$2.86) belonged to Taiwan Mobile; the January–February single-month crowns are not covered by this card's source material and no statement is made about them. This trajectory is chained purely from the original wording of CNA's monthly reports; this card computed no differences itself. This site's prior card ANK-2026-06-10-051 (the 5-month report, published 2026-06-28) is the direct predecessor of this card (CONNECT + CONTEXTUALIZE); see internal citation chain. [J-005]

AI context (CONTEXTUALIZE): the three carriers' AI numbers behind the main article's "AI-driven efficiency gains plus investment contributions"

The main article attributes Taiwan Mobile's June profit to "AI-driven efficiency gains plus investment contributions" (CNA's summary). Prior reports provide context: - Taiwan Mobile: per a CNA report of June 2, 2026, the company's enterprise business commercial chief Chu Hsiao-hsing (朱曉幸) said its AI build-out had entered the "harvest stage": Q1 2026 AI and cloud services revenue rose 471% vs Q1 2025, and AIDC and compute-service revenue rose 87%; the TAIDC facility in Guishan, Taoyuan (total power capacity 25MW) was 100% sold out at the pre-sale stage, with about 7,000 NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 units (96 racks) being built; strategic partner: GMI Cloud — all company statements at COMPUTEX, relayed by CNA. [F-018] Taiwan Mobile's Q1 2026 earnings call (CNA 2026-05-13): Q1 EPS NT$1.37, with president Lin Chih-chen (林之晨) calling it "the highest in Taiwan's telecom industry"; three growth engines: mobile service revenue up 3%, enterprise service revenue up 26%, new-tech telecom business revenue up 32% (all vs Q1 2025); smartphone postpaid ARPU NT$687 (up 3%), postpaid churn 0.51% (company claims a record low), 5G penetration 44.3% (Q1 2026).

FAQ

Q: Which of Taiwan's three telecom carriers had the highest EPS in the first half of 2026?

Taiwan Mobile: H1 2026 cumulative EPS of NT$2.86, above Chunghwa Telecom's NT$2.68 and Far EasTone's NT$2.14; its June single-month EPS of NT$0.52 also topped Chunghwa's NT$0.46 and Far EasTone's NT$0.38 (CNA report of 2026-07-13, based on each company's self-assessed figures).

The "EPS crown" is a media comparison narrative, not an official ranking; the figures are company self-assessed and not auditor-reviewed (CNA#1471224).

Q: Are these audited official financial statements?

No. All monthly profit figures for the three carriers are "company self-assessed" numbers relayed by CNA/cnyes reports — not auditor-reviewed, and not independently verified by this site.

The TWSE OpenAPI monthly-revenue registration data cited in this card (this site's archive) can corroborate June consolidated revenue only (Chunghwa NT$21.342 billion +11.4%, Taiwan Mobile NT$17.322 billion +6.6%, Far EasTone NT$9.622 billion +15.9%, all vs June 2025) — not EPS, net income, EBITDA, or the "EPS crown" conclusion (TWSE#1511558 / #1511757 / #1454195).

Q: Taiwan Mobile's net income "up 29%" vs "up 25%" — which is correct?

Both are correct but on different bases: 29% is the June 2026 single-month net income growth vs June 2025; 25% is the H1 2026 cumulative net income of NT$8.69 billion vs H1 2025. Do not conflate them when citing.

Likewise, Taiwan Mobile's consolidated operating income has two bases: June single month +13%, and H1 cumulative NT$12.05 billion +17% (CNA#1471224, company self-assessed).

Q: Chunghwa and Far EasTone both claim "records" — what is the difference?

The calibers differ. Chunghwa's claim is "June revenue and EBITDA both at record highs for the same period of any year" = the highest among all Junes, not the highest of any single month; Far EasTone's claim is "consolidated EBITDA, net income and EPS all at all-time single-month records" = the highest of any single month, plus its June revenue was a same-period (June) record.

The two calibers must not cross-contaminate; the main article contains no "record" wording for Taiwan Mobile (CNA#1471224, 2026-07-13).

Q: Was Taiwan Mobile the "single-month EPS king" every month in H1 2026?

No. Per CNA's monthly reports: March Taiwan Mobile (NT$0.49), April Chunghwa (NT$0.48, beating Taiwan Mobile's NT$0.47), May Taiwan Mobile (NT$0.50), June Taiwan Mobile (NT$0.52) — the crown changed hands to Chunghwa once, in April; the cumulative EPS crown stayed with Taiwan Mobile throughout H1 (4-month NT$1.84, 5-month NT$2.34, H1 NT$2.86). (The January–February single-month crowns are not covered by this card's source material; no statement is made about them.)

All monthly figures are company self-assessed, relayed by CNA (CNA#87654, 2026-04-10; CNA#354426, 2026-05-11; CNA#885792, 2026-06-10; CNA#1471224, 2026-07-13).

❓ FAQ

Which of Taiwan's three telecom carriers had the highest EPS in the first half of 2026?

Taiwan Mobile: H1 2026 cumulative EPS of NT$2.86, above Chunghwa Telecom's NT$2.68 and Far EasTone's NT$2.14; its June single-month EPS of NT$0.52 also topped Chunghwa's NT$0.46 and Far EasTone's NT$0.38 (CNA report of 2026-07-13, based on each company's self-assessed figures). The "EPS crown" is a media comparison narrative, not an official ranking; the figures are company self-assessed and not auditor-reviewed (CNA#1471224).

Are these audited official financial statements?

No. All monthly profit figures for the three carriers are "company self-assessed" numbers relayed by CNA/cnyes reports — not auditor-reviewed, and not independently verified by this site. The TWSE OpenAPI monthly-revenue registration data cited in this card (this site's archive) can corroborate June consolidated revenue only (Chunghwa NT$21.342 billion +11.4%, Taiwan Mobile NT$17.322 billion +6.6%, Far EasTone NT$9.622 billion +15.9%, all vs June 2025) — not EPS, net income, EBITDA, or the "EPS crown" conclusion (TWSE#1511558 / #1511757 / #1454195).

Taiwan Mobile's net income "up 29%" vs "up 25%" — which is correct?

Both are correct but on different bases: 29% is the June 2026 single-month net income growth vs June 2025; 25% is the H1 2026 cumulative net income of NT$8.69 billion vs H1 2025. Do not conflate them when citing. Likewise, Taiwan Mobile's consolidated operating income has two bases: June single month +13%, and H1 cumulative NT$12.05 billion +17% (CNA#1471224, company self-assessed).

Chunghwa and Far EasTone both claim "records" — what is the difference?

The calibers differ. Chunghwa's claim is "June revenue and EBITDA both at record highs for the same period of any year" = the highest among all Junes, not the highest of any single month; Far EasTone's claim is "consolidated EBITDA, net income and EPS all at all-time single-month records" = the highest of any single month, plus its June revenue was a same-period (June) record. The two calibers must not cross-contaminate; the main article contains no "record" wording for Taiwan Mobile (CNA#1471224, 2026-07-13).

Was Taiwan Mobile the "single-month EPS king" every month in H1 2026?

No. Per CNA's monthly reports: March Taiwan Mobile (NT$0.49), April Chunghwa (NT$0.48, beating Taiwan Mobile's NT$0.47), May Taiwan Mobile (NT$0.50), June Taiwan Mobile (NT$0.52) — the crown changed hands to Chunghwa once, in April; the cumulative EPS crown stayed with Taiwan Mobile throughout H1 (4-month NT$1.84, 5-month NT$2.34, H1 NT$2.86). (The January–February single-month crowns are not covered by this card's source material; no statement is made about them.) All monthly figures are company self-assessed, relayed by CNA (CNA#87654, 2026-04-10; CNA#354426, 2026-05-11; CNA#885792, 2026-06-10; CNA#1471224, 2026-07-13). ---

🧠 編輯判斷（J-Units）

Citation-caliber rule: zero verified official anchors in this card — the status of every profit figure for the three carriers = "company self-assessed, relayed by CNA/cnyes reports", not auditor-reviewed, not independently verified by this site; "EPS crown" = a media comparison narrative, not an official ranking; the TWSE OpenAPI archive corroborates June consolidated revenue (including growth rates) only — not EPS/net income/EBITDA/the "EPS crown" conclusion
Confidence: medium
Record calibers must not cross-contaminate: Chunghwa = "June revenue and EBITDA both at record highs for the same period of any year" (June-of-any-year caliber); Far EasTone = "consolidated EBITDA, net income and EPS all at all-time single-month records" (any-single-month caliber) plus revenue at a same-period record; the main article contains no "record" wording for Taiwan Mobile — any citation of a "record" must carry its original caliber
Confidence: medium
Taiwan Mobile's two bases must not be conflated: net income — June single month up 29% vs June 2025 vs H1 cumulative NT$8.69 billion up 25% vs H1 2025; operating income — June single month up 13% vs H1 cumulative NT$12.05 billion up 17%; any citation of either growth rate must state single-month or cumulative in the same sentence
Confidence: medium
Handling the two-source discrepancy: Far EasTone's cumulative H1 consolidated EBITDA (CNA NT$20.231 billion vs cnyes NT$23.231 billion; both report +7.2%, both vs H1 2025) — record both, do not adjudicate, do not compute; citations must note the discrepancy and both reporting dates (2026-07-13 / 2026-07-10)
Confidence: low
Event-chain discipline: the H1 2026 single-month EPS crown trajectory (March Taiwan Mobile → April Chunghwa → May Taiwan Mobile → June Taiwan Mobile; the cumulative crown with Taiwan Mobile at each reported checkpoint — Q1 / 4-month / 5-month / H1; source material covers the March–June reports) is chained purely from the original wording of CNA's monthly reports; this card computed no differences, rankings or growth rates; monthly figures must not be summed or converted across months
Confidence: medium
