NIKKON Holdings Co.,Ltd. [9072.T]
TOKYO, Mar 06 (Pulse News Wire) – Nikkon Holdings CO.,LTD. (9072.T) revised its shareholder return policy, increasing its dividend payout ratio and updating its share repurchase plan.
At today's board meeting, the company decided to shift from a previous dividend payout ratio (DOE) of 4% to a new target of 6%, effective from the fiscal year ending March 2027. Additionally, the company plans to conduct a total of ¥350 billion worth of share repurchases during the period from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029, as part of its 14th Mid-Term Business Plan.
The adjustment reflects the company’s commitment to enhancing long-term stability and capital efficiency while maintaining a progressive dividend policy. Recognizing that the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) stands at approximately 5.0%, compared to a return on invested capital (ROIC) of around 4.5%, Nikon Holdings aims to maximize value creation through active debt utilization for growth investments such as equipment purchases and mergers and acquisitions.
The updated strategy includes a more dynamic approach to share repurchases, which will continue to support aggressive profit distribution.
