Pubali Bank PLC posted a 21.1 per cent rise in consolidated earnings per share to Tk1.72 for January–March 2026, compared with Tk1.42 a year earlier, supported by stronger investment income and higher fee-based earnings, the lender said in a regulatory disclosure.
The improvement was driven by growth in investment income alongside gains in commission, exchange and brokerage income and other non-interest revenue streams, the bank said.
Net operating cash flow per share declined 3.8 per cent to Tk17.00 from Tk17.68 (restated) in the same period last year, reflecting shifts in balance sheet composition and funding dynamics during the quarter.
Net asset value per share increased 6.4 per cent to Tk57.77 as of 31 March 2026, compared with Tk54.32 at end-December 2025, underpinned by higher retained earnings, statutory reserves and valuation gains from government securities.
The bank said the earnings growth reflected its focus on higher-yield investment securities and diversification of income streams, including commissions and trading-related gains, while changes in deposits, liabilities and lending activity influenced cash flow trends.
