Dividend per share
Fiscal year ending March 2027Each 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 implement progressive dividends by working to improve business performance, securing the internal reserves necessary for future business development, and maintaining or increasing dividends for shareholders. We will strive to maintain and improve the dividend payout ratio at 30% or higher of consolidated net income.
