The manufacturer on September 7 disclosed the EPS with a correction, which is now lower than the earlier disclosures.
The company via a post on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) website stated that the EPS disclosed on May 11, 2021, was incorrect and now it is revised to Tk 0.91 in January-March and Tk 1.77 in July-March of FY21.

With the amended disclosure, the company’s share was traded at Tk 68.1 with a 2.16 per cent fall at the DSE on September 7.
