Analysts forecast Zenith Bank's earnings per share to climb from ₦26.82 in FY2025 to ₦38.70 in FY2026 — supported by loan regularisation, cleaner balance sheets, and improved profitability.
The broader tier-one banking sector is expected to deliver average returns of 48% for UBA and 40.6% for Zenith, driven by capital appreciation of 36.6% alongside dividend yields of about 7.7%.
That's a 44% jump in EPS in one year. If the analysts are right, those sitting on Zenith shares today could be laughing by December.

With Zenith's EPS growth story and dividend track record, would you rank it above or below GTCO as a banking stock right now? Make your case!
