Monno Ceramic Industries Sunday topped the scrip-wise turnover chart of the premier bourse with a value of Tk 95 million following investors' increased participation.
The company's share price, however, declined marginally as many investors offloaded the shares.
The market insiders said that following a continuous price hike, the shareholders normally opt for bagging unrealised profit by selling shares.
"The company had already credited bonus share for the year ended on June 30, 2017 to the respective shareholders' BO accounts. That's why the company's turnover rose following investors' increased participation," said an official of a leading brokerage firm.
On Sunday, the share trading of Monno Ceramic closed at Tk 136.40 with a rise of 1.02 per cent or Tk 1.4 each.
On the day, a total of 686,813 shares changed hands through 2,720 trades executed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE).
The company's market price jumped to Tk 151.6 each on March 8 from Tk 88.7 observed on January 2 this year.
The company was placed in 'A' category from existing 'B' category with effect from February 05, 2018 as the company disbursed 5 per cent cash dividend and 5 per cent stock dividend for the year ended on June 30, 2017.
