Dhaka – Grameenphone, Bangladesh’s largest telecom operator, has reported a 23% year-on-year decline in net profit for the first nine months of 2025, reflecting pressure on earnings amid modest revenue contraction.
The listed multinational company posted a net profit of Tk2,264 crore, compared to Tk2,955 crore during the same period last year. Earnings per share (EPS) fell to Tk16.77, down from Tk21.88 in 2024.
According to the company’s financial statement, approved at a board meeting on 26 October 2025, total revenue for January–September stood at Tk11,948 crore, slightly below Tk12,109.8 crore recorded in the corresponding period a year earlier.
The dip in profitability comes as Bangladesh’s telecom sector faces increased competition, regulatory costs, and slower data revenue growth, despite rising mobile usage and network expansion efforts.
