Quarterly results
ESEF annual reports carry no quarters: the results are annual (below).
E/P over time
E/P = trailing-12-month diluted EPS / price at quarter end. E/P is the inverse of P/E and stays defined when earnings are negative.
Today's P/E sits at the 100 percentile of its own 8-quarter history (min 208.5, median 246.2, max 263.6; quarters with earnings only).

Memo
Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (CHT). Latest full fiscal year: 2024; data up to 2024-12-31.
Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 7.0 bn USD in 2024; YoY growth -3.8%; net margin 16.2%; ROE 9.4%; net debt/EBITDA -0.0x.
The estimated value range is 1.91–2.85 USD per share (median of 3 methods, agreement: medium); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 2.19 USD, the price of 48.98 USD leaves a potential of -95.5% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -2,138.6% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.
olivLaw score 34/100, methodological classification: unattractive profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Not investment advice.

In brief
Chunghwa Telecom is the largest full telecommunications provider in Taiwan, with revenues of NT$236.1 billion in fiscal 2025 and a growing share from ICT services for enterprises. It matters now because it combines a near-complete fiber network with rising regulatory pressure on tariffs and a more concentrated mobile market.
SWOT
Strengths
- The company is Taiwan's largest integrated provider, with leading positions in fixed, mobile and video services and a brand associated with quality 1.
- A low debt-to-equity structure and strong operating cash flows allow continued investment in networks and new services 1.
- Its nationwide 5G network and near-complete fiber coverage give it a solid technical base for ICT services and new products 1.
Weaknesses
- Fixed voice and international business revenues are declining, weighing on traditional segments 1.
- Personnel costs form a large share of operating expenses, limiting flexibility when pricing pressure rises 1.
- The company carries no insurance for damage from earthquakes, typhoons and other natural disasters, which exposes results to service interruptions 1.
Opportunities
- Rising demand for IDC, cloud, IoT and cybersecurity could bring larger recurring revenues from enterprise customers 1.
- Partnerships with global cloud providers and overseas operators could extend services in the region 1.
- New submarine cables and the dedicated satellite could attract OTT providers and international customers 1.
Risks
- Tariff regulationhigh
The regulator could impose further tariff reductions, and the company states it cannot assure that no further mandatory cuts will occur, which could weigh on revenues 1.
- Significant market power designationmedium
Designation as an operator with significant market power in five markets subjects the company to fee control, accounting separation and non-discrimination rules, limiting commercial flexibility 1.
- Cybersecurity and reliance on third-party AIhigh
The company uses third-party AI algorithms it does not control, so an attack or failure at a partner could expose customer data and interrupt services 1.
- Natural disastersmedium
Earthquakes and typhoons could interrupt networks, and the company carries no insurance for the resulting damage, with losses already recorded in fiscal 2025 1.
- Fair trade investigationslow
The Fair Trade Commission could investigate and fine the company if marketing or business practices fall short of the rules, and the timing of any such action cannot be predicted 1.
Investment thesis
What would need to be true (bull case)
- If ICT revenues keep growing and migration to premium 5G plans holds, the company could offset tariff pressure with larger and more recurring revenues 1.
- Its leading integrated position, near-complete fiber coverage and low debt-to-equity structure give it flexibility to invest in new services 1.
- Partnerships with global cloud providers and new submarine cables could bring revenue from international customers and OTT providers 1.
What would break the thesis
- Regulated tariff reductions could continue and limit revenue growth in broadband and voice 1.
- Mobile market concentration and aggressive cable operator offers could reduce the company's market share 1.
- Declines in fixed-line and international revenues could persist if traditional demand does not stabilize 1.

Possibly outdated: the newest document it read is from 15 Apr 2026; since then the company filed 6-K (13 Oct 2026), 6-K (05 Oct 2026), 6-K (10 Sept 2026), 6-K (31 Aug 2026), 6-K (17 Aug 2026), 6-K (10 Aug 2026).
The business
Chunghwa Telecom is the largest telecommunications service provider in Taiwan and one of the largest in Asia by revenue. Its integrated business combines mobile services, fixed-line services, ICT business and sales, and since 2022 it has been organized into consumer, enterprise and international business groups 1.
The company says its main advantages are its position as an integrated provider, its premium brand associated with quality and reliability, and its financial and technological resources. A low debt-to-equity structure supports capital-intensive investment in 5G, fiber and data centers 1.
Its strategy rests on three pillars, Digital Resilience, Smart Empowerment and a Sustainable Future, under an internal 'AI Everywhere' principle. The company also uses AI to lower operating costs, from customer support to energy management in data centers 1.
Segments
Consumer business
The consumer business accounted for 60.7% of revenues in fiscal 2025 and includes mobile, fixed-line, sales and other services. Revenues rose 2.4% in 2025, supported by 5G migration and fixed broadband, partly offset by lower fixed voice revenues 1.
Enterprise business
The enterprise business accounted for 32.7% of revenues in fiscal 2025. Its ICT line, covering IDC, cloud, cybersecurity and big data, grew 9.2% to NT$30.4 billion on project and recurring revenues 1.
International business
International business accounted for 4.0% of revenues in fiscal 2025, down as the company withdrew international voice services, while demand for leased lines, IDC and cloud grew 1.
Market context
Taiwan's mobile market became more concentrated after two operators merged in December 2023, reducing the number of mobile network operators from five to three, including the company. In June 2023 the company was designated a telecommunications enterprise with significant market power in five specific markets, subject to fee control and transparency rules 1.
Market growth is shifting toward data, ICT services and high-speed connectivity, while the regulator imposes tariff reductions on voice termination and broadband circuits. The company does not expect these cuts to have a material adverse impact on results, but cannot rule out further mandatory reductions 1.
Trends
- Migration to 5G and premium planstailwind
Mobile service revenues rose in fiscal 2025 on postpaid subscriber growth and 5G migration, which could lift average revenue per user if customers move to higher plans 1.
- Demand for ICT servicestailwind
Demand for IDC, cloud, cybersecurity and big data supports growth in the enterprise segment, and the company aims to become a leading multi-cloud provider in Taiwan 1.
- Regulated tariff reductionsheadwind
The regulator has imposed reductions on broadband, circuit and termination fees, limiting the company's ability to raise prices 1.
- Cable operator competitionmixed
