- Habib Bank Limited (HBL) announced its 4QCY25 results, reporting consolidated EPS of PKR 10.5, up 7% YoY but down 9% QoQ. The result came in slightly below our expectations, primarily due to weaker non-markup income. The bank declared a final cash dividend of PKR 6/share, above our expectation of PKR 5/share, taking the CY25 cumulative payout to PKR 20/share.
- Net interest income (NII) grew by 17% YoY, supported by volumetric expansion which largely offset margin compression. However, on a QoQ basis, NII declined by 2% as the impact of asset repricing had largely materialized. Non-markup income fell sharply by 50% YoY, mainly due to losses on sale of securities and the absence of one-off other income recorded in the same period last year.
