Bank Alfalah reports Rs21.44bn PAT for 9M

Bank Alfalah Limited has reported a profit after tax (PAT) of PKR 21.44 billion for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, translating into earnings per share (EPS) of PKR 13.59 compared to PKR 21.32 in the same period last year. The Board of Directors announced a third interim cash dividend of PKR 2.50 per share (25 percent), taking the cumulative cash dividend for the year to PKR 7.50 per share (75 percent), up from PKR 6.00 per share (60 percent) in the corresponding period of 2024. Total deposits stood at PKR 2.17 trillion at the close of the period. The bank noted that its strategy shift at the end of last year focusing on growing average deposit balances rather than period-end balances had strengthened its net interest income (NII) and improved the efficiency of its cost of deposits. The approach aimed to build a more stable and profitable deposit base through improved spreads.
