Linde Bangladesh has announced a 100% cash dividend for the year 2025, maintaining a strong payout for shareholders despite a significant decline in profit compared to the previous year.
The decision was taken at a board meeting held on Wednesday (8 April) of the multinational industrial and medical gas producer, according to a price sensitive disclosure. The company has scheduled its annual general meeting for 10 June, while the record date has been fixed for 29 April.
For the year ended 2025, the company reported a net profit of Tk34 crore, with earnings per share (EPS) standing at Tk22.60. This marks a sharp drop from the previous year's EPS of Tk421.9, which had been exceptionally high due to a one-off gain.
The company clarified that its 2024 earnings were significantly boosted by income generated from the divestment of its hard goods business.
