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.
The basic policy is to prioritize the continuation of stable dividends while returning profits in line with performance. During the period of the Sixth Medium-Term Management Plan, beginning with the fiscal year ending March 2026 (the fiscal years ending March 2026 through March 2028), the annual dividend per share will have a floor of approximately 3% DOE (dividend on equity), while the total payout ratio will be at least 50% on a consolidated basis as a means of returning profits in line with performance (interim dividends at approximately 2% DOE, and year-end dividends comprising approximately 1% DOE and a performance-linked dividend).
