Dividend per share
Fiscal year ending August 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.
Of the profits generated through FY2028, 80% will be allocated to retained earnings and 20% to shareholder returns. Shareholder returns will target a total payout ratio of 20%, with half, or 10%, allocated to dividends and the remaining 10% implemented through flexible return measures such as dividends or share buybacks.
