Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC—a tech giant listed in the engineering sector of the country’s capital market—has set a unique precedent by swiftly distributing a 180 percent cash dividend to its institutional and general investors for the 2025-26 fiscal year. The company disbursed the approved cash dividends to investors’ accounts just one day after its Annual General Meeting (AGM), a press release said.
Md. Rafiqul Islam, FCS, Deputy Managing Director and Company Secretary of Walton, stated that the 20th AGM of Walton Hi-Tech Industries was held via a digital platform last Thursday (October 15, 2026), with a large number of institutional and general shareholders in attendance. During the meeting, the shareholders unanimously approved the Board of Directors’ proposal for a 180 percent cash dividend and a 10 percent stock dividend for the 2025-26 fiscal year. The approved cash dividends were credited to the investors’ respective bank accounts just one day later.
The Company Secretary noted that this rapid distribution was made possible by Walton’s technological excellence, operational efficiency, and dynamic management, combined with a strong liquidity position. Through this, Walton has established a unique benchmark in the country’s capital market.
It is worth noting that for the 2025-26 fiscal year, shareholders received a cash dividend of BDT 18 per ordinary share (with a face value of BDT 10). Additionally, investors will receive one (01) bonus share for every 10 ordinary shares held.
According to the audited financial statements approved by the shareholders, the company recorded a profit of BDT 1,124.57 crore (BDT 11,245,708,494) for the 2025-26 fiscal year. In the previous financial year, the company’s profit stood at BDT 1,036.616 million (1,036 crore 61 lakh 60 thousand 363 taka). In the financial year under review, Walton’s earnings per share (EPS) increased to BDT 33.75, up from BDT 31.11 in the preceding financial year. Walton’s total net asset value (NAV)—inclusive of revaluation—reached approximately BDT 12,704 crore. The net asset value per share (NAVPS), including revaluation, rose to BDT 381.26, while the NAVPS excluding revaluation also increased to BDT 280.24.
The approved 10% stock dividend will be utilized for the company’s ongoing expansion of green energy capacity, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply, and for other Balancing, Modernization, Rehabilitation, and Expansion (BMRE) initiatives. This stock dividend will be funded entirely from retained earnings.
