BAFL 1HCY26 profit jumps 40%
MG News | July 30, 2026 at 02:12 PM GMT+05:00
July 30, 2026 (MLN): Bank Alfalah Limited (PSX: BAFL)
reported a robust 40% increase in its consolidated net profit for the half-year
ended June 30, 2026 (1HCY26), recording Rs21.14bn compared to Rs15.06bn in the
corresponding period last year.
The bank also announced a dividend of
Rs1.5 per share.
The primary driver of the half-year
profit expansion was a massive 43% surge in non-mark-up income alongside a
credit loss provision reversal.
While net mark-up income experienced a
modest 5% year-on-year growth to Rs70.81bn (up from Rs67.45bn), total
non-mark-up income surged to Rs35.15bn from Rs24.55bn in 1HCY25.
This non-interest growth was
spearheaded by a 123% explosion in gain on securities, which reached Rs17.87bn
(up from Rs8.01bn), and a 33% increase in foreign exchange income to Rs7.10bn.
On the operational expense side,
operating expenses rose by 8% to Rs60.64bn, bringing total non-mark-up expenses
to Rs61.69bn.
Despite the overhead increase, total
income growth comfortably outpaced cost expansion, pushing the profit before
provisions up by 26% to Rs44.28bn.
The bank absorbed a 25% higher
taxation charge of Rs23.72bn for the half-year.
Supported by the complete absence of
losses from discontinued operations (which had cost Rs83.52m last year), Bank
Alfalah Limited securely closed the six-month period with its total net profit
reaching Rs21.14bn.
