Chunghwa Telecom’s TWD 59.99 Billion Quarter: Is ICT Growth Rewriting The Story?

Chunghwa Telecom reported a strong start to 2026, with first quarter revenues reaching a record high for any first quarter since 2012. This growth was primarily driven by an outstanding increase in information and communications technology (ICT) revenue, alongside solid mobile and fixed line service performance. The company’s mobile revenue market share in Taiwan increased to 41.1%, its highest ever, with a subscriber share of 39.7%, accompanied by rising 5G adoption where penetration reached nearly 48% among smartphone users. Postpaid average revenue per user (ARPU) grew by 3.6%, supported by a 4.4% year-over-year increase in mobile service revenue. Fixed broadband subscribers and revenues also improved, with a 3% rise in broadband revenue and higher ARPU attributed to greater uptake of speeds over 300 Mbps.
