United Finance PLC reported a 31 per cent year-on-year rise in net profit after tax in the first quarter of 2026, driven by growth in its loan portfolio, deposits and operational efficiency.
Net profit after tax stood at Tk75.7 lakh in the January-March quarter, up from Tk57.8 lakh a year earlier, while earnings per share rose to Tk0.04 from Tk0.03, the company said in a press release on Wednesday.
The non-bank financial institution’s loan and investment portfolio grew 2.38 per cent to Tk2339.6 crore during the quarter, reflecting what it described as prudent portfolio management and sustained business demand.
Customer deposits increased 5.03 per cent to Tk1385.1 crore, indicating continued customer confidence amid a challenging financial sector environment.
Net asset value per share edged up to Tk17.94 from Tk17.90 in 2025.
“Our Q1 2026 results reflect the positive momentum we have built across the business,” said Mohammed Abul Ahsan, Acting Managing Director of United Finance.
