Dividend per share
Fiscal year ending March 2026Each vertical step represents one dividend payment, and the total height of the accumulated steps represents the annual dividend for the period. For periods showing only the annual amount, the payment breakdown is not provided, so only the end point is plotted.
The record date is the cutoff date for determining which persons listed in the shareholder register on that date are entitled to receive dividends.Payments begin on the effective date.
The Company's basic policy is to provide stable and continuous dividends while strengthening its management foundation and maintaining and improving its earnings capacity for sustainable growth, taking into comprehensive consideration the results for the fiscal year, financial condition and future business environment. The current medium-term management plan sets the shareholder return target at “DOE [dividend-on-equity ratio] of 6%” (the target DOE for the fiscal year ended March 2025 was 8%).
