FUJI MEDIA HOLDINGS,INC. [4676.T]
TOKYO, Feb 3 (Pulse News Wire) -- Fuji Media Holdings, Inc. (4676.T), led by President Shinji Shimizu, announced today that it has revised its dividend policy and adjusted its year-end dividend forecast after holding a board meeting earlier in the day. The company plans to significantly increase dividends as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance shareholder returns and improve profitability.
The revised dividend strategy reflects the progress made in the recovery of advertising revenues within the media and content sector, alongside other improvements in business performance. In light of these developments, Fuji Media decided to boost dividends substantially over the next two fiscal years, setting the per-share dividend at 200 yen for both the fiscal year ending March 2027 and the one ending March 2028. This decision is also influenced by the company's intention to introduce external capital into urban development and tourism businesses, which could further bolster overall group financial strength.
Regarding the current fiscal year ending March 2026, Fuji Media has raised its annual dividend forecast from the previously announced 50 yen to 125 yen per share. Specifically, this includes an interim dividend of 25 yen, bringing the total expected dividend payment up to 125 yen per share for the year.
In terms of the revised year-end dividend forecast, Fuji Media now expects to pay out 100 yen per share compared to the previous estimate of 50 yen. This represents a significant increase of 75 yen per share. For reference, the actual dividend paid last year was 50 yen per share, split evenly between mid-year and year-end payments.
Fuji Media’s decision underscores its commitment to enhancing shareholder value through improved operational efficiency and strategic investments. However, the company notes that while these forecasts are based on currently available information, future events may cause actual results to differ from the projected figures.
