Finance · Major Banks · economic_daily · 2026-08-31

Foreign investors aggressively bought NT$110.9 billion in Taiwan stocks last week, with a clear preference for major financial institutions like First Financial and Mega Financial.

What Happened

Foreign Inflow Surge: Taiwan's stock market saw a robust rally last week, with the index climbing 1,107.16 points or 2.45%. Data from the Taiwan Stock Exchange indicates that foreign institutional investors net bought NT$110.94 billion in the centralized market.

Focus on Financials: Foreign buying was heavily concentrated in the financial sector, with First Financial, Mega Financial, and KGI Financial topping the list of net purchases. These three financial giants collectively saw significant accumulation, signaling a strategic shift toward the sector.

Selling Activity: On the flip side, foreign investors trimmed their positions in several companies, with Taiwan Cement, Wistron, and Pou Chen leading the net selling list. These stocks faced notable selling pressure as foreign capital rotated out of these specific holdings.

Year-to-Date Context: As of August 28, foreign investors have recorded a cumulative net sell-off of NT$1.3188 trillion for the year. Despite this, foreign holdings in the Taiwan market remain substantial, valued at NT$72.5881 trillion and accounting for 47.97% of the total market capitalization.
