What Happened
Monthly Financial Performance: Chunghwa Telecom reported an August revenue of NT$23.31 billion, a 25.8% year-over-year increase, with net profit rising 40% to achieve an EPS of NT$0.57. These results mark a historic high for the company, solidifying its position as the top-earning telecom provider on a per-share basis for the month.

Core operations, including 5G adoption and high-speed broadband, remain stable, while international circuit revenue surged due to increased demand from AI supply chain clients.

By focusing on next-generation digital infrastructure, Chunghwa Telecom aims to sustain long-term growth and continue delivering value to its shareholders.
