The boards of directors of eight more listed companies have declared "no" dividend for the year ended on June 30, 2019, according to official disclosures published on Monday.

The companies are Generation Next Fashions, RN Spinning Mills, BD Thai Aluminium, Renwick Jajneswar, Zeal Bangla Sugar Mills, Khan Brothers PP Woven Bag Industries, Meghna Condensed Milk and Meghna Pet Industries.

Of them, Generation Next Fashions, RN Spinning, BD Thai Aluminium, Renwick Jajneswar and Khan Brothers PP Woven Bag Industries declared "no" dividend for the first time.

The companies would be placed in the "Z" category with effect from today (Tuesday) as they have recommended 'no' dividend.

Zeal Bangla Sugar Mills, Meghna Condensed Milk and Meghna Pet are already in the "Z" category.

On Sunday, three companies -- Jute Spinners, Alltex Industries and Salvo Chemicals Industries -- declared 'no' dividend for the year ended on June 30, 2019.

Jute Spinners, Zeal Bangla Sungar Mills, Meghna Condensed Milk and Meghna Pet Industries have already been under the Dhaka Stock Exchange scanners, as the companies did not pay any dividend over the last five years.

Market analysts said "no" dividend declarations from fresh companies dampened the general investors' confidence further as they have already been going through a tough time amid depressed market outlook.
