JCU CORPORATION [4975.T]
TOKYO, Feb 5 (Pulse News Wire) -- JCU Corporation (4975.T), led by Chairman and CEO Masashi Kimura, announced today an upward revision to its fiscal year 2026 March-end dividend forecast through a press release. The company's board meeting held on this day decided to increase the expected dividend payout for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
The adjustment is based on JCU’s commitment to shareholder returns as one of its key business priorities. This commitment is outlined in their mid-term management plan, “JCU VISION 2035 - 1st Stage,” which spans from fiscal years 2025 to 2027. According to the capital policy within this plan, JCU aims for a total return ratio of around 50%, steady dividend increases, and proactive consideration of share buybacks when appropriate.
Specifically, the revised forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 reflects a comprehensive evaluation of the current performance and financial standing. As a result, the company has raised the anticipated final dividend per share from the previous estimate of ¥41.00 to ¥54.00. Consequently, the annual dividend expectation now stands at ¥95.00 per share, marking a ¥19.00 increase over the actual figure reported for the previous fiscal year.
For reference, the previous and new forecasts alongside historical data are detailed below: - Previous Forecast: Interim dividend ¥41.00; Final dividend ¥82.00; Total annual dividend ¥123.00 - Revised Forecast: Interim dividend ¥54.00; Final dividend ¥95.00; Total annual dividend ¥149.00 - Actual Dividend FY2025: Interim dividend ¥41.00; Final dividend ¥76.00; Total annual dividend ¥117.00
This decision underscores JCU Corporation's dedication to maintaining strong communication with shareholders and adhering to its strategic goals.
