YeaShin International Development Co (亞昕國際開發) yesterday said that it expects its earnings to improve in the next three years with NT$54 billion (US$1.94 billion) worth of projects on hand and sales rates of 70 percent.
The Taipei-based developer reported NT$230.59 million in net income in the first three quarters of the year, or earnings per share of NT$0.67, company data showed.
The results came after it reported net profit of NT$285.84 million in the first quarter, but incurred losses of NT$41.22 million and NT$14.03 million in the second and third quarter respectively as a level 3 COVID-19 alert dampened business.
However, buying interest and sales rates have picked up after locally transmitted infections diminished, it said.
YeaShin has NT$54 billion worth of projects that could generate stable income upon their completion in the next three years, it said, adding that the projects are in Taipei, New Taipei City, Taoyuan, Miaoli County and Taichung.
A project comprising 555 apartment units in Taoyuan has reached a sales rate of 70 percent following its launch early this month, the company said.
In addition, YeaShin has NT$28.53 billion in land and house inventory, enough for development for three years, it said.
Shares of YeaShin closed down 0.23 percent at NT$22.05 yesterday, better than the sector’s 0.51 percent decline, Taiwan Stock Exchange data showed.

Trump said on Monday he plans to impose tariffs on imported chips, pharmaceuticals and steel in an effort to get the producers to make them in the US. “Taiwan and the US semiconductor and other technology industries
SMALL AND EFFICIENT: The Chinese AI app’s initial success has spurred worries in the US that its tech giants’ massive AI spending needs re-evaluation, a market strategist said Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) start-up DeepSeek’s (深度求索) eponymous AI assistant rocketed to the top of Apple Inc’s iPhone download charts, stirring doubts in Silicon Valley about the strength of the US’ technological dominance. The app’s underlying AI model is widely seen as competitive with OpenAI and Meta Platforms Inc’s latest. Its claim that it cost much less to train and develop triggered share moves across Asia’s supply chain. Chinese tech firms linked to DeepSeek, such as Iflytek Co (科大訊飛), surged yesterday, while chipmaking tool makers like Advantest Corp slumped on the potential threat to demand for Nvidia Corp’s AI accelerators.

The US Federal Reserve is expected to announce a pause in rate cuts on Wednesday, as policymakers look to continue tackling inflation under close and vocal scrutiny from US President Donald Trump.
