TOKYO, Feb 20 (Pulse News Wire) -- SBI Global Asset Management Co., Ltd. (4765.T), represented by President Satoshi Asakura, announced today that its board of directors has decided on an interim dividend of ¥13.75 per share and a total annual dividend forecast of ¥22.75 per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. This decision marks the company's 17th consecutive year of dividend increases.
The revised dividend forecast reflects a significant improvement over previous expectations, which were previously unspecified. The company reported a dividend payout of ¥9.00 per share during the second quarter of the current fiscal year, compared to ¥8.75 per share in the same period last year. For the entire fiscal year 2025, the actual dividend was ¥22.00 per share.
In making this announcement, SBI Global Asset Management emphasized its commitment to stable and fair returns to shareholders as one of its top priorities. The company stated that it carefully considers the balance between growth investments aimed at enhancing competitiveness and profitability, and internal reserves set aside for future needs when determining dividend levels.
According to the company’s latest consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, sales are expected to increase for the 14th consecutive year, surpassing the highest level ever recorded for seven consecutive years. Operating income is projected to rise for the 17th consecutive year and achieve record highs for the 15th straight year. Based on these positive forecasts, the company concluded that further dividends could be distributed to shareholders, leading to a combined interim and final dividend increase of ¥0.75 per share compared to the previous year.
This move will extend the company's streak of dividend hikes to 17 consecutive years since the fiscal year ended March 2009. Over this period, the annual dividend amount has increased by more than twelve times. Notably, special dividends were paid out in fiscal years 2015, 2018, and 2023 to commemorate the 15th, 20th, and 25th anniversaries of the company's establishment, respectively.
Looking ahead, SBI Global Asset Management remains committed to balancing sustainable growth with enhanced shareholder returns to drive continued improvements in enterprise value.
