Historical Growth and Capital Structure
Marico Bangladesh has shown a steady climb in earnings over the last four years, nearly doubling its EPS from Tk 112.82 in FY2021-22 to over Tk 206 in the latest cycle.

Authorized Capital: Tk 40 crore
-
Paid-up Capital: Tk 31.50 crore

Marico’s consistent high-percentage dividends underscore its position as a “blue-chip” stock in the Bangladesh capital market. While the 2,075% dividend for FY26 is lower than the exceptional 3,840% payout seen in FY25, the year-on-year growth in EPS suggests that the company’s core business operations—driven by its dominance in the fast-moving consumer goods sector—remain highly profitable and resilient.
