Chunghwa Telecom Co Ltd (CHT) (Q3 2026) Earnings Call Highlights: Record Q3 Revenue, EPS

Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) reported record Q3 2026 revenue of NT$67.59 billion, up 16.7% YoY, with operating income up 27.1% and net income up 29.5%. Growth was driven by a one-time asset revitalization gain, strong product sales, and core telecom/ICT growth. However, enterprise business income before tax declined slightly due to higher performance bonuses and lower-margin ICT projects. International ICT revenue declined due to a high comparison base from a one-off project last year.
