Higher claim payments pushed down Sena Insurance PLC’s earnings in the first half of 2026, despite improvements in operating cash flow and net asset value.
The insurer’s earnings per share (EPS) fell 2.3 per cent year-on-year to Tk3.39 during the January-June period, compared with Tk3.47 in the same period a year earlier.
For the April-June quarter, EPS declined slightly to Tk1.55 from Tk1.57 in the corresponding period of 2025.
Sena Insurance attributed the earnings decline mainly to increased claim payments during the period.
However, the company reported stronger cash generation, with net operating cash flow per share rising to Tk6.32 in the first half of 2026 from Tk4.00 a year earlier. The insurer said the improvement came from lower reinsurance expenses.
Its net asset value per share also increased to Tk30.43 as of 30 June 2026, up from Tk28.58 at the end of December 2025, supported by a higher investment return.
Shares of Sena Insurance, with a face value of Tk10 each, closed 3.90 per cent lower at Tk108.40 on the Dhaka Stock Exchange on Thursday.
