Uttara Bank PLC posted a 23 per cent rise in net profit for 2025 and declared a 30 per cent dividend, combining cash and stock, as stronger income and cash flow supported balance sheet growth.
The board recommended 5 per cent cash and 25 per cent stock dividend for the year ended December 31, according to a disclosure on Thursday.
Consolidated earnings per share (EPS) rose to Tk6.08 from Tk4.93 a year earlier.
Consolidated net asset value (NAV) per share increased 17 per cent to Tk31.95 from Tk27.29.
Consolidated net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) climbed 75 per cent to Tk11.45 from Tk6.55.
The bank said the stock dividend will be issued from current year profit to strengthen its capital base and support business expansion.
It said the stock dividend will not be sourced from capital reserve, revaluation reserve, unrealised gains or pre-incorporation profit, and will not reduce retained earnings to a negative balance.
The annual general meeting (AGM) is scheduled for June 15 at 11:00am on a digital platform, with the record date set for May 20.
Uttara Bank shares fell 0.78 per cent to Tk25.50 on the Dhaka Stock Exchange on Thursday.
