Rhea AI CHT FY2025 2026-04-22

Cash conversion, not leverage, is the dominant mechanic as Chunghwa turns steady earnings into cash with minimal balance-sheet strain.

From FY2023 to FY2025, free cash flow consistently exceeded net income, ending at $1.59B versus $1.29B. With operating cash flow holding near $2.5B even as capital spending stayed below $900M, reported profit is translating into spendable cash rather than being absorbed by heavy reinvestment.

The balance sheet is equity-funded and net-cash: cash of $1.18B is more than five times long-term debt of $223M. With debt-to-equity at just 1.8%, day-to-day performance matters more than refinancing pressure; the company is financed to endure rather than to stretch returns through leverage.

Even with top-line wobble over the last three annual periods, profitability stayed unusually steady: net margin remained between 16.7% and 17.2%. Paired with ROA of 7.6% in FY2025, that steadiness suggests a mature operation designed to protect cash generation, not a business whose economics swing sharply with revenue.

Based on FY2025 annual data, averaged across the last 3 years for performance metrics (most-recent year weighted highest). How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Chunghwa Telecom's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Growth

Chunghwa Telecom's revenue grew 7.3% year-over-year to $7.5B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 36/100.

Leverage

100

Chunghwa Telecom carries a low D/E ratio of 0.02, meaning only $0.02 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Chunghwa Telecom's current ratio of 1.45 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 24/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

Chunghwa Telecom converts 21.1% of revenue into free cash flow ($1.6B). This strong cash generation earns a score of 78/100.

Returns

Chunghwa Telecom's ROE of 10.2% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 33/100. This is up from 9.7% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Strong

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.91x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Chunghwa Telecom generates $1.91 in operating cash flow ($2.5B OCF vs $1.3B net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
