Pubali Bank PLC reported a 40 per cent rise in consolidated net profit to about Tk1,090 crore in 2025, crossing the Tk1,000 crore mark for the first time, according to a disclosure on Thursday.
The board recommended a 30 per cent dividend, comprising 15 per cent cash and 15 per cent stock, for the year ended December 31.
Consolidated earnings per share (EPS) rose to Tk8.38 from Tk5.99 a year earlier.
Consolidated net asset value (NAV) per share increased 32 per cent to Tk54.32 from Tk41.17.
Consolidated net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS), however, declined 42 per cent to Tk32.04 from Tk54.85.
The annual general meeting (AGM) will be held on June 16 at 11:00am on a digital platform.
The record date is May 20.
The bank said the stock dividend has been recommended to strengthen its capital base, support projected business growth and improve regulatory ratios.
It said the stock dividend will be issued from profit and not from capital reserve, revaluation reserve, unrealised gains or pre-incorporation profit, and will not reduce retained earnings to a negative balance.
Pubali Bank shares fell 3.04 per cent to Tk38.30 on the Dhaka Stock Exchange on Thursday.
