►►Dividend:

In simple word it means profit given by a company to the respective share holders. There are two types of dividends:

*CASH DIVIDEND:

Dividend offered by the company in cash form. e.g X company has declared 20% cash in this year. This means that if you have 1,000 shares of that X company, face value of each share is 10tk, then total price of 1,000 shares is 10,000tk, 20% of 10,000tk is 2000tk. It is noticeable that cash dividend is given on the face value of shares, not on the current market price of that shares.

*STOCK DIVIDEND:

Dividend offered by a company in the form of bonus shares. Suppose you have 1000 numbers of shares of Y company, company has given 30% bonus share or stock dividend, then after record date you will found 30% of 1000 shares=300 more shares free of cost

►►Dividend Yield:

Return rate of dividend. suppose X company’s face value 10 MP 20 declare 15% cash that means 1.5 tk. so market price is 20 tk dividend 1.5 tk. so 1.5/0.2= 7.5 so dividend yield is 7.5 .

►►EPS (Earning per share):

Basic theory to find eps is Net profit after tax/total share = EPS

There are 2 types of EPS:

Basic EPS – W /O considering recent declared Stock dividend or Right share.

Diluted EPS - considering recent declared Stock ... dividend or Right

►►EGM (Extra Ordinary General meeting):

Any general meeting other than the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, called to obtain shareholders’ consent to under decisions, such as Split, right etc.

►►Face Value:

The price of each share stated by the company at IPO is Face Value. All cash dividends are paid on the basis of face value. Suppose face value of a share is 100tk but its current market price is 300tk. Now if a company have declared 20% cash dividend then you will get 20% of it's face value (20% of 100tk=20tk) not 20% of it's current market price

►►IPO(Initial Public Offering):

New shares offered to the public in the PRIMARY MARKET.

►►Lock-In Shares:

►►Market C... apitalization:

Market Capitalization is the total market value, at the current stock exchange list price of the total number of equity shares issued by a company.

Market Capitalization = ∑ (No. of Issued Share * Close Price)

►►Market Lot:

A Market Lot is the smallest tradable unit for an instrument except those traded in the Odd lot book. All order quantities can only be an integral multiple of the Market lot.

►►NAV (Net Asset Value):

Which is the value of total assets less liabilities on the date of valuation. It represents the net worth of the company.

►►NPR (NAV per ratio):

Market price/NAV= NPR. 1-2 NRP is good to their holdings, as a matter of their right to receive preferential treatment.

►►Odd Lot:

Stock market shares are generally bought and sold in market lots, which are easy to trade. Any number of shares less than the market lot makes an odd lot. Odd lots typically arise from bonus or rights issues.

►►Overheated Market:

A stock situation in which too much money is chasing too few shares, leading to sharp price rises, and frequent GAPs.

►►Overvalued Shares:

Shares which have caught the investors’ fancy, and who therefore are willing to pay... a price for them which is not justified by their EPS (earning per share) or P/E ratio.

►►Panic Sell:

A condition of the stock market in which not only inexperienced investors, but also sturdy bulls, take fright and start selling is called panic sell. It may be caused by sudden unfavorable news or rumor, or a RANDOM WALK by share downwards, or simply, in bear market conditions, the absence of financial institutions from the market.

►►P/E Ratio:

The P/E ratio (price-to-earnings ratio) of a stock is a measure of the price paid for a share relative to the annual net income or profit earned by the firm per share. It is a financial ratio used for valuation: a higher P/E ratio means that investors are paying more for each unit of net income, so the stock is more expensive compared to one with lower P/E ratio. The P/E ratio has units of years, which can be interpreted as "number of years of earnings to pay back purchase price",





►►Preference Share:
