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.
Our basic policy is to continue paying stable dividends while securing an appropriate level of retained earnings to support business development from a medium- to long-term management perspective, taking consolidated performance into consideration. Under the Medium-Term Management Plan (2024-2026), we have raised the target total payout ratio, including share buybacks, from 45% to 50% and aim to continuously enhance dividends per share.
