United Finance posts 31% growth in Q1 profit

United Finance PLC has reported a strong start to the 2026 financial year, with its net profit after tax surging by 31% during the first quarter of the year ending 31 March. 

According to the company's financial results released today (13 May), the non-bank financial institution earned a net profit of Tk0.75 crore in the January-March period, up from the corresponding period of the previous year. This growth was largely attributed to improved operational efficiency and a steady expansion across its core business segments.

The significant bottom-line growth pushed the company's earnings per share (EPS) to Tk0.04 for the three months, compared to Tk0.03 in the first quarter of 2025. The company's net asset value (NAV) per share also saw a modest improvement, rising to Tk17.94 from Tk17.90 recorded at the end of the previous year.

Contacted, Mohammed Abul Ahsan, acting managing director of the firm, said that the results reflect the positive momentum built across the organisation. 

He noted that the 31% surge in net profit, combined with healthy growth in both the loan portfolio and deposit base, reaffirms the strength of the company's diversified business model. 

Ahsan added that the firm remains focused on delivering sustainable returns to its shareholders while maintaining excellence in customer service.
