City Bank PLC’s profit momentum strengthened in the first half of 2026 as higher returns from investments, growing commission and fee income lifted its consolidated earnings per share (EPS) by 75 per cent to Tk3.01.
The bank’s unaudited financial statements released on Tuesday showed that consolidated EPS increased from Tk1.72 in January-June 2025. In the April-June quarter, consolidated EPS rose 37 per cent year-on-year to Tk1.63 from Tk1.19.
The growth came as City Bank benefited from higher profit from incremental investments and increased commission and fee income.
The lender’s consolidated net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) rose to Tk44.20 in the first six months of 2026 from Tk13.94 in the same period last year, driven by stronger customer deposit mobilisation and higher bank borrowings.
City Bank’s consolidated net asset value (NAV) per share increased to Tk37.60 as of 30 June 2026 from Tk35.37 at the end of December 2025.
The bank said the rise in NAV reflected higher net profit during the period and gains from the revaluation reserve on government securities.
City Bank shares, with a face value of Tk10 each, closed 0.31 per cent higher at Tk31.90 on the Dhaka Stock Exchange on Tuesday.
