Dhaka Bank Ltd posted a profit of Tk 25.10 crore for the July‑September quarter of 2025, identical to the same period a year earlier, according to a price‑sensitive disclosure.

Consolidated earnings per share stood at Tk 0.24 for the quarter, unchanged from July‑September 2024.

However, for the first nine months of 2025, its profit fell 21 percent year‑on‑year to Tk 140.37 crore.

Consolidated earnings per share dropped to Tk 1.33 from Tk 1.67 in the same period of 2024, which the private commercial lender attributed to lower operating profit.

Consolidated net operating cash flow per share rose to Tk 21.90 in January‑September 2025, compared with a negative Tk 10.40 a year earlier, supported by higher customer deposits.

As of September 30, 2025, sponsors and directors held 40.92 percent of shares, institutions 12.03 percent and the public 47.05 percent.
