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.
