Up to 40% of the revenue of BBS Cables comes from the sale of products to government companies and the rest to corporations and retailers. 

In the January-March quarter of 2022, its revenue fell 12% to Tk114 crore, and net profit 37% to Tk13 crore compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Despite the fall in revenue, its sales and distribution expenses surged 75% to Tk7.73 crore, up from Tk4.41 crore in the January-March quarter of 2021.

BBS Cables got listed on the capital market in 2017. In fiscal 2020-21, the company paid a 15% dividend – 10% in cash and 5% in bonus – to its shareholders. 

As of 30 April 2022, sponsors and directors jointly held 30.90%, institutions 21.18%, foreign investors 0.42, and the general public 47.42% shares in the company.

The last trading price for each of its shares on the Dhaka Stock Exchange was Tk56.80 on Tuesday.
