Faysal Bank announces 15% interim cash dividend and book closure for August 2026.

Faysal Bank Limited (FBL) has announced its financial results for the second quarter (half year) ended June 30, 2026, following a meeting of its Board of Directors held on August 6, 2026. The Board approved an interim cash dividend of Rs1.50 per share (15%) for the second quarter, in addition to the 15% interim cash dividend already paid for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. This brings the total interim cash dividend for the first half of 2026 to 30% (Rs3.00 per share).

The Board did not announce any bonus shares, right shares, or any other corporate action. It also confirmed that there was no other price-sensitive information requiring disclosure.

On an unconsolidated basis, Faysal Bank reported profit after tax of Rs10.011 billion for the half year ended June 30, 2026, compared with Rs10.006 billion in the corresponding period last year. Earnings per share (EPS) improved slightly to Rs6.60, compared with Rs6.59 a year earlier, reflecting stable profitability despite a challenging operating environment.

The Bank generated net profit/return income of Rs33.08 billion during the first six months of 2026, while total income reached Rs48.82 billion. Profit before taxation stood at Rs20.52 billion, demonstrating continued resilience in the Bank's core banking operations.

Faysal Bank also informed the Pakistan Stock Exchange that its Share Transfer Books will remain closed from August 20, 2026 to August 22, 2026 (both days inclusive). Transfers received by the Bank's share registrar before the close of business on August 19, 2026 will be entitled to the second interim cash dividend.
