E.SUN Financial to inject NT$22 billion into Mercuries Life by 2027

E.SUN Financial Holding said Mercuries Life Insurance, which is set to join the group on September 1, will receive NT$22 billion (approximately $684.3 million) in capital support funded entirely by the holding company's own capital as management pushes a "Back to Health" turnaround. A first NT$16 billion (approximately $497.7 million) injection is due by the end of September and should lift Mercuries Life's TIS ratio to 125%, Chief Financial Officer Cheng Kuo-jung said, with another NT$6 billion (approximately $186.6 million) planned in 2027. The merger will be followed by a distribution, product, process and open-platform overhaul at the insurer, while E.SUN said future dividends will increase as earnings per share improve and keep a cash dividend yield of at least 4%. The company also reported record first-half 2026 results, with self-assessed net revenue of NT$53.84 billion (approximately $1.7 billion) and after-tax net profit of NT$21.43 billion (approximately $667.3 million), up 27.8% year over year. Earnings per share came in at NT$1.32, return on equity at 15.46%, and return on assets at 0.91%, while cumulative after-tax net profit for the first seven months reached a record NT$24.44 billion (approximately $761.1 million). E.SUN Bank posted NT$18.8 billion in after-tax net profit, E.SUN Securities earned NT$2.82 billion as first-half profit surpassed its full-year 2025 total, and the group said all major subsidiaries delivered their best-ever performance for the period.
