DIGITAL HEARTS HOLDINGS Co.,Ltd. [3676.T]
TOKYO, Mar 02 (Pulse News Wire) – Digital Hearts Holdings CO.,LTD. (3676.T) announced adjustments to its strategic direction and introduced new shareholder return policies amid heightened market uncertainty.
The company decided to abandon its previous spin-off listing plan due to concerns over deteriorating stock market conditions, particularly affecting IT-related stocks. In response, Digital Hearts revised its dividend policy, increasing the expected per-share final dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2026 by ¥2 to ¥13.5. Additionally, the firm adopted a progressive dividend payout structure and initiated a shareholder preference program offering QUO cards worth ¥10,000 to shareholders holding 500 shares or more as of the record date.
This move aims to ensure continuous and stable returns to shareholders while maintaining growth investments. The decision was driven by recent market dynamics, including the decline in major domestic IT-related stock prices averaging around 24.5%, reflecting growing skepticism towards traditional software models in light of advancements in artificial intelligence. Furthermore, rising interest rates have led to a revaluation of high PER stocks, contributing to significant declines in IT sector valuations.
