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 basic policy is to maintain a stable annual dividend of ¥85 and determine the dividend based on whichever is higher: this amount or an amount reflecting earnings based on a consolidated payout ratio of 85%. The stable dividend is set at a consolidated dividend on equity ratio (DOE) of 5% or higher.
