Far Eastern New Century stock: 1H EPS rises 74 percent

Far Eastern New Century reported a stronger first half in an investor presentation summarized by Quartr dated 5 October 2026. Earnings per share for the first six months rose 74 percent year over year to 1.15 Taiwan dollars, while second-quarter consolidated revenue increased 15 percent to 69.3 billion Taiwan dollars.

Production returns to profit

The company recorded second-quarter operating profit of 5.22 billion Taiwan dollars, up 44 percent year over year. Its Production Business returned to profitability, generating operating profit of 1.1 billion Taiwan dollars in the quarter, compared with a 1.2 billion Taiwan dollar loss in the same period of 2025.

The presentation also noted that a property disposal in Taoyuan contributed an approximately 1.9 billion Taiwan dollar gain in the first quarter. That item is relevant when assessing the quality of the first-half improvement alongside the reported operating recovery and portfolio-optimization measures.

Circular materials remain strategic

Green products remained a central part of the business update. First-half green product revenue reached 24.2 billion Taiwan dollars, representing 35 percent of Production Business revenue. Total green revenue was reported at 24.8 billion Taiwan dollars, or 19 percent of consolidated revenue.

Far Eastern New Century also showcased textile-to-textile recycling applications, recycled polyester and other material solutions. The presentation described technologies spanning electronic-waste recycling, functional yarns and mono-material fabrics designed to support future recycling.

What investors should watch

The figures point to an improvement in production profitability and a growing contribution from circular-material activities. Investors should distinguish recurring operating performance from the effect of the Taoyuan disposal when evaluating the first-half result.
