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 continue paying dividends based on stable dividends while comprehensively taking business performance and the management environment into account. Dividends are determined using a DOE (dividend on equity attributable to owners of the parent) of 4.0% as the floor and a consolidated dividend payout ratio of at least 50% as the standard.
