Taiwan Brokerage Profits Halved in July Amid Market Sell-off

Finance · Investment Banks/Brokers · cnyes · 2026-08-26

Taiwanese brokerages saw their monthly profits plummet by nearly 60% in July as a historic market correction led to losses in proprietary trading and underwriting.

What Happened

Market Correction Impact: A historic 3,000-point drop in the Taiwan Stock Exchange index during July significantly impacted brokerage earnings, with monthly net profits falling to NT$10.96 billion.

Trading and Underwriting Losses: Proprietary trading and underwriting businesses both swung to losses in July, serving as the primary drivers behind the 58.75% month-over-month decline in total brokerage profits.

Brokerage Activity Slowdown: Heightened market caution led to a decline in trading volume, with total market turnover dropping by over 20% compared to June, directly impacting commission income.

Strong Year-to-Date Performance: Despite the sharp monthly decline, cumulative net profit for the first seven months of the year remains strong at NT$155.05 billion, up significantly from the same period last year.
