DIGITAL HEARTS HOLDINGS Co.,Ltd. [3676.T]
TOKYO, Mar 02 (Pulse News Wire) – Digital Hearts Holdings CO.,LTD. (3676.T) revised its dividend forecast and changed its dividend policy to introduce a progressive payout approach.
The company also launched a shareholder benefits program. At today's board meeting, the company decided to increase the final dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 by ¥2 per share to ¥13.50, up from the previous estimate of ¥11.50 announced on May 13, 2025. Additionally, the company shifted its dividend strategy to focus on maintaining or increasing payouts annually, aiming to enhance shareholder returns while ensuring stability. In light of recent changes in market conditions, the company has abandoned plans for a spin-off IPO of its subsidiary AGET. Instead, it will prioritize sustainable growth through enhanced shareholder return strategies.
The new progressive dividend policy ensures consistent or increased dividends without cuts, aligning with the company’s commitment to stable and growing distributions since its listing. Furthermore, Digital Hearts introduced a shareholder benefit scheme offering QUO cards worth ¥10,000 to shareholders holding 500 shares or more as of March 31 each year. These cards will be sent out in early June along with annual general meeting documents. The combined effect of the higher dividend and shareholder benefits results in an estimated yield of 5% for qualifying investors based on the closing price of ¥897 on February 27, 2026. This strategic shift underscores Digital Hearts' dedication to maximizing long-term value for its stakeholders while adapting to evolving market dynamics.
