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 shareholder returns that maintain a balance among the three factors of “business characteristics,” “the allocation of management resources with an emphasis on medium- to long-term growth,” and “the financial foundation,” based on the principle of “laughing in good times and not crying in bad times.” Depending on performance, the company sets criteria for determining good and bad times as well as a minimum dividend amount. In good times, it increases dividends through progressive increases in the payout ratio, while in bad times it does not assume that dividends will be omitted.
