Two publicly listed companies under Magura Group—Magura Multiplex and Monospool Bangladesh—have reported contrasting financial performances for the first quarter of the 2025-26 fiscal year, according to disclosures published on the stock exchanges on Monday (17 November).
Magura Multiplex saw a 13% decline in profit, earning Tk2.60 crore in Q1 (July–September), down from Tk3.01 crore in the same period last year. Its earnings per share (EPS) fell to Tk0.88 from Tk1.02, while net operating cash flow per share declined to Tk0.24. Net asset value per share rose slightly to Tk75.67 from Tk74.79.
Despite the early-year drop, Magura Multiplex reported a 43% profit growth in FY25, totalling Tk10.65 crore with an EPS of Tk3.60. The board has recommended an 11% cash dividend, pending approval at the annual general meeting on 29 December.
In contrast, Monospool Bangladesh posted a 4.38% growth in Q1 profit, reporting Tk4.06 crore, up from Tk3.89 crore. EPS increased to Tk1.19 from Tk1.14. The company also saw improved net operating cash flow per share (Tk0.28) and net asset value per share (Tk46.25).
For FY25, Monospool achieved a 26% profit increase, rising to Tk12.83 crore from Tk10.16 crore in FY24. Based on the performance, it has proposed a 5% cash dividend and a 15% stock dividend.
Analysts say the mixed results reflect operational differences within Magura Group, with Monospool sustaining moderate growth while Magura Multiplex faces early-year pressures despite a strong FY25 performance.
