MG Morning Breeze: Updates to Skim before Market

Habib Bank Limited (PSX: HBL) recorded after-tax earnings of Rs66.76bn for calendar 2025, according to Mettis Link News. That total is 15.5% higher than the Rs57.80bn the lender earned in CY24, and the update presented the comparison as a straightforward year-on-year rise.

The result covers the full twelve months to the end of December rather than a half-year period, which gives a complete view of the bank's year. For readers following listed banks, the figure places HBL among the sector's key reported profit numbers for 2025.

Shareholders and sector watchers can use the reported figures as a benchmark when comparing HBL with peers that have published their own annual results.
