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 basic policy is to maintain stable dividends over the long term and achieve a full-year consolidated dividend payout ratio of at least 35%. During the period covered by the 13th Medium-Term Management Plan (the fiscal year ending March 2026 through the fiscal year ending March 2028), the Company will implement progressive dividends with an annual dividend floor of ¥140 per share and, together with flexible share repurchases, aim for a total payout ratio of at least 50% on a cumulative three-year basis.
