Walton recommends 180pc cash, 10pc stock dividend for FY26

Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC has recommended a 180per cent cash dividend and a 10per cent stock dividend for the financial year ended 30 June 2026, as the electronics manufacturer reported higher earnings and stronger cash flow.

The company’s board approved the recommendations at a meeting on Saturday following approval of its audited financial statements, according to a price-sensitive disclosure.

The 180per cent cash dividend amounts to Tk18 per ordinary share of Tk10, while the 10per cent stock dividend will provide one bonus share for every 10 ordinary shares held.

Walton’s earnings per share (EPS) rose to Tk33.75 in FY2025-26 from Tk31.11 a year earlier.
The company attributed the growth primarily to a significant decline in finance costs, which fell by Tk267.26 crore to Tk181.14 crore, accounting for 2.45per cent of sales, compared with Tk448.40 crore, or 6.33per cent of sales, in FY2024-25.

The company also reported an improvement in operating cash flow, with net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) rising to Tk63.72 in FY26 from Tk52.91 in the previous financial year.

Walton said the improvement was driven by a Tk694.36 crore, or 8.84per cent , increase in collections from customers, while payments to suppliers declined by 2.31per cent during the year.
