Policy exposure

Very small free float and high share price With a low paid-up capital and few outstanding shares, the stock is thinly traded at a high per-share price, raising market-liquidity and minority-protection questions for the securities regulator. Source: DSE

Foreign parent ownership and profit repatriation A majority foreign-owned listed FMCG firm channels dividends abroad, intersecting with forex management and policy on local reinvestment. Source: analysis
