Faysal Bank 9M CY26 profit edges up to Rs16bn, declares Rs1.5 dividend

Mettis Global reported that Faysal Bank Limited (FABL) earned Rs15.68 billion after tax in the nine months to September 30, 2026, up 0.84% from a year earlier. Earnings per share reached Rs10.33, compared with Rs10.25 in the corresponding 2025 period. The bank also declared a third-quarter interim distribution of Rs1.5 per share, following two earlier quarterly payouts of 15% each that have already been paid.

Higher other income, which rose 20.34% to Rs24.55bn, helped offset a 7.61% increase in operating expenses to Rs45.69bn. Profit before tax fell 4.74% to Rs32.11bn, as the benefit from a lower tax bill, down 9.53% to Rs16.42bn, supported a small rise in after-tax earnings. Revenue from securities gains, foreign exchange and fees all increased, while the bank’s credit-loss allowance benefit was smaller than a year ago.
