Listed non-life insurer Global Insurance has declared a 10% cash dividend for the year ended 31 December 2025, maintaining the same payout as the previous year.
The dividend, equivalent to Tk1 per share with a face value of Tk10, was approved at a board meeting on Thursday following the adoption of the company’s audited financial statements.
Despite the unchanged dividend, the insurer’s earnings declined during the year. Earnings per share (EPS) fell 18.35% year-on-year to Tk1.29 in 2025 from Tk1.58 a year earlier.
However, cash generation improved significantly. Net operating cash flow per share rose to Tk1.64 from Tk0.26 in the previous year, while net asset value per share (NAVPS) increased slightly to Tk14.83 from Tk14.54.
Following the dividend announcement, the company’s shares fell 2.06% to Tk38 on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), indicating a modest negative reaction from investors.
Global Insurance will hold its 26th annual general meeting (AGM) on 18 August through a digital platform to seek shareholder approval of the audited financial statements, dividend proposal and other agenda items. The record date has been fixed for 20 July 2026.
Listed on the stock exchanges in 2005 and classified under the ‘A’ category, Global Insurance conducts general insurance, guarantee and indemnity business, excluding life insurance.
As of May 2026, sponsor-directors held 35.32% of the company’s shares, institutional investors owned 12.62%, and the general public held the remaining 52.06%.
