TOKYO, Apr 14 (Pulse News Wire) – Ichigo Inc. (2337.T) raised its dividend payout ratio (DOE) target from “above 4%” to “above 5%,” effective April 14, 2026, during today’s board meeting.
This decision follows the company's commitment to achieving sustainable infrastructure goals outlined in its long-term vision, “Ichigo 2030.” The revised DOE target reflects strong performance, with projected net income for the fiscal year ending February 2027 expected to surpass previous highs. As part of its progressive dividend policy, Ichigo anticipates increasing dividends from ¥11 to ¥4 per share for the fiscal year ending February 2026. In addition to enhancing shareholder returns, Ichigo aims to build a more resilient revenue base through its proprietary heart-building (shinchiku) approach, which leverages its real estate expertise to create lasting value in existing properties.
This strategy aligns with the company’s broader objectives of reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources by 2025. Ichigo also maintains its focus on stable cash flow metrics, such as maintaining economic operating cash flow exceeding net profit and ensuring stock revenue covers fixed costs at a rate of 60% or higher. The company continues to implement a proactive share buyback program alongside its progressive dividend policy to further enhance shareholder value.
