Share prices of Islami Bank and Beximco fell sharply after the withdrawal of floor prices became effective on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. Both companies’ shares hit the lower circuit breaker limit, placing them among the top decliners in the stock market. The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) had issued an order on Monday removing the floor price restrictions and directed the country’s two stock exchanges to take necessary actions.

Following the implementation of the decision, heavy selling pressure emerged at the start of trading, with very few buyers for the two companies. Islami Bank’s share price dropped from its floor price of Tk 32.60 to Tk 29.40, a decline of 9.82 percent within the first one and a half hours of trading, with 28,000 shares changing hands in 174 trades. Beximco’s share price fell from Tk 110.10 to Tk 99.10, marking a 9.99 percent drop, with 7,863 shares traded during the same period.

The sharp declines followed BSEC’s move to lift the floor price, signaling immediate market reactions to the regulatory change.
