Jyoti Bikas Bank (JBBL) ended FY 2024/25 Q4 with Rs. 5.73 billion revenue but only Rs. 12.38 million net profit, a sharp fall from last year’s Rs. 246 million. Earnings collapsed as EPS fell to Rs. 0.28, while asset quality worsened with NPLs rising to 7.98%.

Despite weak fundamentals, JBBL’s share price rose to Rs. 351.54, indicating investor optimism. To sustain growth, JBBL must improve loan quality and restore profitability.
