ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS

Dividend:

A dividend is a portion of corporate earnings paid out to shareholders. Most dividends are paid quarterly.

 TYPES OF DIVIDENDS

 Cash

  Stock

  Preferred Stock

  Right shares

Cash

In the majority of cases dividends are issued on a cash basis.  For example, if a shareholder holds 1,000 shares and the per share dividend at TK. 1, the investor will receive a check for TK.1000.

Stock

Dividends can be issued to shareholders in the form of stock.  The issuing company will announce a percentage of shares to be delivered to the investor based on their current holdings.  So, if the stock dividend is 10% of the shares, and the investor holds 1,000 shares, he or she will receive an additional 100 shares.

Preferred Stock 

Also unlike common stock, preference shares pay a fixed dividend that does not fluctuate.

Right shares 

Right shares are the shares which are offered by the company to the existing shareholders in some ratio proposition.

1.              I.      Active Fine Chemicals Ltd

RECOMMENDATIONS & CONCLUSION

Recommendation:

Companies that have used questionable financial repots, including those that have long defaulted of their loans, should be delisted from the Stock Exchanges. This would initially reduce the daily turnover of the market. But when the market remains lackluster and prices low, it is the best time to throw the bad apples from the basket. This would also send a clear signal: if businesses want to be listed in the stock exchange they have to conform to rigorous financial standards. That we believe would enhance invertor’s confidence in the market.

• Company should disseminate information accurately and in time.
• Company should be maintaining a stable price by holding sponsor share significantly.
• Company should declare the Dividend in time
• Company 1^st , 2nd , 3^rd Quarterly NAV, EPS, & PE Ratio timely .
• Govt. should influence the company to declare maximum earnings for the shareholder.

Conclusion:

Eventually it is true that now a day in the competitive business world marketing is very much inevitable for a successful Company. Our Private Sector Corporation faces hard competition, so they are very much needed of sufficient dexterous. The Company when Declare Dividend then Share Price Movement to up and down in Share Market. When Price increase than investors agreed bought Share and this time Share Price increase in the Market. All of the company was Dividend Declaration satisfy in the Market investors. The Company policy systems increase than there profit increase day by day and they are provide more Dividend Declaration in the investors. Although all Company Analysis Data are not covered with this Report, it is pertinent to mention Price movement of Ten Selected Companies of Dhaka Stock Exchange Ltd.

Finally I pray to the Almighty Allah for continuous improvement and prosperity of listed Companies of Dhaka Stock Exchange Ltd.
