Abstract

LankaBangla Securities is one of the top brokerage houses of Bangladesh. LankaBangla is the leader in terms of customer transactions and has been crowned yet again as the largest brokerage house in terms of transaction value for the 11th consecutive time in DSE and 12th in CSE. The Research Department is the heart of the organization where the most capable people work with large chunks of information every day. During my tenure at the research team I have worked with the information available from secondary sources especially the annual reports. The cement industry of Bangladesh is booming and yet has potentialities to grow even further. The current per capita consumption of cement in Bangladesh approximately 120 kgs (as of December 2016) is one of the lowest in the world is expected to grow in the coming days. The Industry is dominated by local companies where the top 10 companies have 6 local companies in respect to production per annum. The report mainly focuses on the comparative analysis of the DSE listed cement firms in Bangladesh. The report mainly comprises of industry overview, financial statement analysis, and ratio analysis which gives a brief about the cement industry from 2010 to 2015. 2016 data was excluded because there has been a change in the year ending from December to June. To avoid variability in data I have excluded year 2016 from the report. The calculation and graphical representations are basically done with Microsoft Excel.
