Foreign investors buy Taiwan stocks but dump Taiwan Business Bank

Sep 04, 2026

Taiwan's stock market bounced back hard on Friday, but shareholders of Taiwan Business Bank got left behind as foreign money kept pulling out.

  • The Taiwan index jumped nearly 700 points as tech, financial, and traditional stocks all rose together.
  • Foreign investors turned into net buyers of Taiwan stocks overall, adding tens of billions of Taiwan dollars.
  • They still dumped Taiwan Business Bank shares for a second straight day, pushing the stock down again and hurting its 380,000 shareholders.
  • Other heavy sell targets were display and chip makers like Innolux, Powerchip, and AUO, plus shipper Evergreen and Chang Hwa Bank.

Outlook: The broad market looks stronger, but the banks and display makers that foreign money is leaving may stay under pressure.
