what happened
Dow Jones Newswires published figures from the Taiwan Stock Exchange covering the third quarter, which ended September 30. Asia Cement's net profit came in at NT$2.14 billion, down from NT$3.86 billion a year earlier, while revenue held nearly flat at NT$17.75 billion compared with NT$17.89 billion.
Universal Cement's net profit fell to NT$454.5 million from NT$576.0 million. Its revenue was NT$1.80 billion against NT$1.89 billion, and basic earnings per share dropped to 0.65 Taiwan dollars from 0.82. Asia Cement's pretax profit also declined, to NT$2.52 billion from NT$4.33 billion.
why it matters
The report covers two small Taiwanese cement producers. A sharp profit decline with nearly unchanged revenue points to higher costs or thinner margins, but such results rarely move broader markets.
