The result is higher than our projected 2Q EPS of PKR9.50, with the deviation primarily stemming from a deferred tax reversal which reduced the overall effective tax rate. UBL also announced a higher than expected dividend of PKR11.0/sh vs. our estimate of PKR10.0/sh, translating into a 106% payout. 2QCY23 RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS...
