Investors on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) faced widespread disappointment following the dividend disclosures of five listed companies for the 2025–26 financial year. Three of the firms declared extremely nominal cash dividends ranging between 2.2 and 5 paisa per share, while two others decided to skip dividends entirely due to consecutive financial losses.

The companies declaring nominal cash dividends are Khan Brothers PP Oven Bag Industries (0.25% or 2.5 paisa per share, despite an EPS of Tk 0.30), Intraco Refueling Station (0.22% or 2.2 paisa per share, despite an EPS loss of Tk 0.58), and Dominage Steel Building Systems (0.50% or 5 paisa per share, despite an EPS loss of Tk 0.29). Meanwhile, Atlas Bangladesh (reporting an EPS loss of Tk 0.97) and Eastern Cables (reporting an EPS loss of Tk 4.66) decided against issuing any dividends.
