Bangladesh National Insurance Company Limited said it has no undisclosed information or operational decisions that could explain the recent unusual movements in its share price and trading volume.
The clarification was issued in response to a formal query from the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) dated 14 September 2026, following a steep upward trajectory on the bourses.
According to data from the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), the general insurer’s shares stood at Tk106.20 on 30 August before climbing 31% to reach Tk138.80.
The insurer, which is backed by majority ownership from the Meghna Group of Industries and was listed on the stock exchanges in 2016, recently rewarded shareholders with a 22% cash dividend for 2025, yielding a dividend rate of 4.92%.
Financial statements for the period ended June 2026 reveal robust fundamental growth supporting investor interest. Earnings per share (EPS) for the April-June 2026 quarter rose to Tk1.39, up from Tk0.98 during the corresponding period of the previous year.
For the cumulative January-June 2026 half-year, EPS climbed to Tk3.00 from Tk2.04.
Net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) witnessed a dramatic surge, jumping to Tk5.60 in the first half of 2026, from Tk2.03 in the same period of 2025. Net asset value (NAV) per share rose to Tk34.26 as of 30 June 2026, from Tk31.26 at the end of December 2025.
Explaining the operational deviations behind the cash flow improvement, the company attributed the sharp rise in NOCFPS to lower claim payouts and management expenses, optimised reinsurance costs, and exemptions on agency commissions during the period.
