It is worth mentioning that the company approved distributing 50% cash dividends for the year 2013; 40% cash dividends for the year 2013 and 10% exceptional cash dividends for the company’s investments in 2013.  This proposal that came prior to disclosing the financial data FY2014, was reflected in the stock’s performance, whereby, the purchasing orders accumulated around the previous week’s levels, leading the stock to gradually increase, touching levels that had abandoned since March 2014 due to the price depths.

This decrease came due to a decline in the operating income by 14.84%. However, PALTEL recorded investment income of JD3.03 million, to record payout ratio of 69.66% based on the EPS of 2014.

On the other hand, the listed companies’ announcements about their FY2014 financial data disclosures accelerated; to create a momentum in this week.

Whereby, BPC announced reporting net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent company of $4.54 million; down by 16.43% than what was reported in the year 2013. This came as a result of an increase in the finance costs that dominated the increase in the operating income. Moreover, the BOD of the Arab Company for Paints Products APC proposed distributing 35% cash dividends to the GA that will be holding a meeting on 15/02/2015, to record payout ratio of 90% based on the EPS of 2014.

Regarding the annual financial data disclosures, the Vegetables Oil Industries Company VOIC announced recording net income of JD4.95 million at the end of 2014, compared to net income of JD4.83 million at the end of 2013. This increase came due to the relative stability in the gross income, in addition to an increase in the selling and distribution expenses versus a soar in the company’s stake from associates’ profits, to record EPS of JD1.24. In the same context, Palestine Securities Exchange Company PSE- the operator of the PEX- announced posting net income of $0.24 million at the end of 2014 compared to net loss in the corresponding period.
