Most spinning mills enjoy profitability improvement

The top-tier spinning mills listed on both Dhaka and Chattogram bourses are posting stellar growth in their profits as the price they are enjoying has outgrown their costs amid an increase in sales, especially for the spinners who produce comparatively higher value yarns. Matin Spinning Mills, a concern of DBL Group, posted 212% year-on-year growth in its quarterly profits for the July-September quarter this year. Its quarterly earnings per share stood at Tk2.68 for the first quarter of the current fiscal year, which was Tk0.86 in the corresponding period of the previous year. It secured Tk0.75 in EPS for the first quarter of this fiscal year, which was a meagre Tk0.11 in the same period a year ago. Following years of struggle to contain costs amid a downward pressure in yarn price, its stock price plunged below the Tk5 level in mid-2020. Spinners with the internal legacy of management problems that often caused production disruption or irregular disclosures, such as Delta Spinners, Dulamia Cotton are found posting deterioration in earnings and it is not a big shock to analysts.
