Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) on Sunday disclosed that City Bank PLC has recommended a 30 percent dividend for the year ended December 31, 2025, comprising 15 percent cash and 15 percent stock.

The bank fixed June 7, 2026 for its annual general meeting (AGM) to be held on a digital platform at 3:00 pm, while the record date is May 3, 2026.

According to the disclosure, City Bank reported a consolidated earnings per share (EPS) of Tk 8.71 for 2025, up from Tk 6.67 in the previous year. Consolidated net asset value (NAV) per share stood at Tk 40.67, while net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) was Tk 47.

The bank attributed the EPS growth to a 16 percent increase in operating profit, which rose to Tk 2,727 crore from Tk 2,351 crore a year earlier. Net profit also climbed to Tk 1,324 crore, compared to Tk 1,014 crore in 2024.

The board recommended the stock dividend to strengthen the capital base, support future business expansion and improve regulatory ratios. It also clarified that the bonus shares will be issued from accumulated profit and not from any capital or revaluation reserves.

Following the corporate declaration, there will be no price limit on the trading of the company’s shares on Sunday.

City Bank’s shares last closed at Tk 31.40. The bank’s trailing price-earnings (P/E) ratio stood at around 3.61 as of April 12, reflecting a relatively low valuation compared to earnings.
