GPH Ispat Limited’s earnings per share (EPS) declined by 64% in the first quarter of the 2025–26 fiscal year.
The company released its financial report for the first quarter, covering July–September 2025, on Wednesday.
According to the unaudited report, GPH Ispat reported an EPS of Tk0.05 for the quarter, down from Tk0.14 in the same period of 2024, marking a 64% decline. This drop was attributed to higher production costs, increased operating expenses, and rising bank interest rates, all of which compressed profit margins during the quarter.
On a positive note, the company saw an improvement in Net Operating Cash Flow Per Share (NOCFPS), which rose to Tk1.74 from a negative Tk1.82 a year earlier. The turnaround in NOCFPS was driven by lower cash payments for suppliers, operating expenses, and other costs, along with improved collections from customers.
The company’s Net Asset Value (NAV) per share also saw a slight increase, rising to Tk51.85 in the first quarter of 2025–26 from Tk51.72 on June 30, 2025.
