Why this score
Strengths
- Consistency Paid a dividend every year (5/5)
- Valuation Trades near book value (P/NAV 0.63x)
Concerns
- Consistency EPS rose in only 1 of 4 years (erratic or cyclical)
- Profitability Average ROE only 3.43% (below 10%: capital not working hard)
- Profitability Net profit shrinking 17.58% a year
- Solvency High debt: debt/equity 7.83x (above 1.5)
- Valuation P/E 23.67 is high (above 20)
Risk flags
- Category Z (poor/defaulting: gambling favourite, avoid for long-term)
- Small cap (< Tk 200 cr): most exposed to manipulation and volatility
- Thin trading (last day ~Tk 0.04 cr)
- Extreme leverage: debt is 7.83x equity
- Within 9.43% of its 52-week low: check WHY before treating it as cheap

52-week range
9.4% above the low, 37% below the high. Near the low is only interesting if profit is intact (see concerns above) and the fall has a temporary cause.
