BIAT stock holds steady after half-year profit rise

BIAT (TN0001800454) closed at TND 88.00 on September 2, 2026, with a market value of TND 1.8 billion. The stock did not have a broad price catalyst in the search set, so the half-year numbers carry the article.

Half-year profit sets the tone

For the first half of 2026, BIAT reported net profit of TND 320.0 million, up 12.0 percent from TND 285.7 million a year earlier. Revenue reached TND 1.1 billion in the same period, compared with TND 1.0 billion in the first half of 2025.

The comparison matters because the profit line grew faster than revenue, which points to a better operating mix. For a bank, that is usually the figure investors read first.

Balance sheet and payout

BIAT's latest figures also showed total assets of TND 19.6 billion at June 30, 2026, while deposits reached TND 15.2 billion. Loans stood at TND 11.8 billion, giving the bank a solid funding base for the period.

Historical context helps here: in fiscal year 2025, BIAT had already delivered a full-year profit of TND 560.4 million, so the 1H 2026 result left the bank well positioned to challenge that base over the remainder of the year.

Private banking focus

BIAT's private banking and corporate lending mix remains the key product angle for investors watching Tunisia's largest listed lender. The latest half-year figures suggest that fee income and lending volumes are still doing the heavy lifting.

Stock around TND 88

BIAT stock traded at TND 88.00 as of September 2, 2026, while the market capitalization stood at TND 1.8 billion. That puts the shares close to a simple earnings-driven valuation view rather than a pure momentum trade.
