(Central News Agency, Reporter Zeng Yunting, Taipei, 12th) Fubon Financial Holding held its 2026 annual shareholders' meeting today, completing the election of directors and approving a cash dividend of NT$4.25 per share. Chairman Daniel Tsai stated that last year, Fubon Financial's after-tax net profit reached NT$120.94 billion, with earnings per share (EPS) of NT$8.37, maintaining the top position in per-share earnings among Taiwan's financial holding companies for 17 consecutive years. The NT$4.25 cash dividend not only matches Fubon Financial's historical record but also ranks the highest in the financial holding industry.
At today's shareholders' meeting, Chairman Tsai noted in his address that while the global economy faced challenges such as changes in international trade policies, geopolitical risks, and market volatility last year, Taiwan's economy maintained steady growth, benefiting from AI development driving industrial investment and export momentum. Fubon Financial also continued to demonstrate stable operational results.
Chairman Tsai pointed out that Fubon Financial's after-tax net profit of NT$120.94 billion and EPS of NT$8.37 last year were both the highest in the financial holding industry, and it has been the leader in per-share earnings for 17 consecutive years. The proposal to distribute a cash dividend of NT$4.25 per share, approved at today's meeting, is not only the highest in the financial holding industry but also ties Fubon Financial's historical record.
Chairman Tsai stated that as of the end of May this year, Fubon Financial's cumulative after-tax net profit had reached NT$87.8 billion, with EPS of NT$6.27. Including gains or losses from the disposal of stocks measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), the adjusted cumulative profit for the first five months reached NT$159 billion, with EPS of NT$11.36, already breaking the record for full-year profits in previous years. He expressed continued efforts for the remaining seven months of the year, hoping to deliver even better results.
The shareholders' meeting also completed the election of the 10th Board of Directors. The elected directors are Daniel Tsai, Richard Tsai, Zeng Mingzong, Han Weiting, Lin Fuxing, Tsai Cheng-ju, Hu Xiaolan, Lian Tangkai, Yao Shuwen, Wang Lijuan, Li Shuhang, Mo Zhaohong, Zhang Xinti, Ye Kuangshi, and Guan Zhongmin.
Among them, Hu Xiaolan, Lian Tangkai, and Yao Shuwen are representatives of the Taipei City Government legal entity. Wang Lijuan, Li Shuhang, Mo Zhaohong, Zhang Xinti, Ye Kuangshi, and Guan Zhongmin are independent directors.
Chairman Tsai stated that Fubon Financial Holding is not only committed to improving operational performance but also actively implements corporate governance. It was one of the first listed companies in Taiwan to introduce an independent director system, and the independence and diversity of its board members serve as a model for the industry. Among the 15 directors of the 10th Board, two independent director candidates are new this term, including Professor Zhang Xinti from the College of Law, National Taipei University, and former National Taiwan University President Guan Zhongmin.
Looking ahead, Chairman Tsai said that Fubon Financial will continue to deepen its presence in the Taiwan market while actively promoting regional expansion. It will strengthen competitiveness through cross-industry alliances and fintech-driven innovation, and will continue to evaluate merger, acquisition, and equity investment opportunities. He noted that after Fubon Securities Investment Trust completed its merger with Jih Sun Securities Investment Trust in April last year, its assets under management expanded from approximately NT$800 billion to NT$1.5 trillion, demonstrating the benefits of the integration.
Chairman Tsai stated that Fubon Financial will continue to balance risk control and business growth, deepen its presence in the Taiwan market, and expand into Asia, using fintech and sustainable development as growth drivers, aiming to become a first-class financial institution in Asia.
