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.
The basic policy is to set the standalone payout ratio at 80% as a base, and, taking into consideration the Company's financial position and other factors, to add 1% to 10% each fiscal year in lieu of shareholder benefits, resulting in a standalone payout ratio of 81% to 90% each fiscal year. The Company will also continue to pay regular dividends consistently and stably each fiscal year.
