DBH Finance: 0.84% NPL and 30.7% capital, but the home-loan book has barely grown in eight years and the spread fell to 1.4pp
A lower NPL and higher capital ratio than IDLC, NHFIL and LankaBangla earns a declining return: ROE fell from 22% (2018) to 9.8% (2025) as equity piled up and deposit costs rose, treasury income carried 2025 profit, and in 2026 DBH shrank its balance sheet by 9% to cut funding costs.
Company · DSE:ROBI · Telecommunication · Initiation · 31 Oct 2026
Fair value range BDT 6.1–19.4 against a price of 29.7: revenue grows 6–7% again, but a 14% sustainable ROE sits below a 17% cost of equity
Fair value range BDT 6.1–19.4 (base 12.8) against a price of 29.7. ARPU growth and the 10-Nov-2026 spectrum renewal decide where in the range value lies; the cost of equity explains most of the gap to the price.
