GTCO Plc released its second quarter audited financial statements showing a pre-tax profit of N494.5 billion nearly double the same profits reported a year earlier.
This represents the best second-quarter results reported thus far by any financial holding company or bank in Nigeria and follows a blistering N509.3 billion reported in the first quarter of the year.
In total, the bank has now reported a whopping N1 trillion in the first half of 2024.
Commentary: GTCO’s second-quarter result remains the highest reported by any commercial bank this year and is only second to the bank’s first-quarter results.
GTCO also declared an interim dividend per share of N1 to its shareholders which is double the 50 kobo per share paid in the same period in 2023.
The bank share price closed at N45.45 per share down 0.11%.
