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 provide continuous and stable shareholder returns that are not affected by business performance, and to steadily increase dividends toward a DOE of at least 3.5% at the end of the 15th Medium-Term Management Plan. The 16th Medium-Term Management Plan will also maintain a DOE of at least 3.5% as a shareholder return target.
