SEIKO GROUP CORPORATION [8050.T]
TOKYO, Feb 10 (Pulse News Wire) -- Seiko Group Corporation (8050.T), led by President Shuji Takahashi, announced an upward revision to its dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The company now expects to distribute a total annual dividend of ¥150 per share, up from the previously projected ¥130 per share.
The revised forecast includes an interim dividend of ¥60 per share paid earlier this year, which remains unchanged. However, the final dividend has been increased to ¥90 per share from the previous estimate of ¥70 per share. This adjustment reflects the improved outlook for the company's consolidated performance as detailed in the third-quarter earnings announcement released on the same day.
Seiko Group also confirmed that it plans to implement a stock split effective April 1, 2026, where each ordinary share will be converted into two shares. Despite this upcoming change, the final dividend payment scheduled for March 31, 2026, will still be based on the pre-split number of outstanding shares. For more information regarding the stock split and related amendments to the articles of incorporation, investors can refer to today’s separate press release titled “Notice Regarding Stock Split and Amendments to Articles of Incorporation.”
In line with its strategy to strengthen internal capital while maintaining stable returns to shareholders, Seiko Group aims to maintain a payout ratio of over 30% of consolidated net income. The company attributes the upward revision primarily to an enhanced forecast for the current fiscal year, which surpasses initial expectations. The decision underscores the group’s commitment to balancing growth initiatives with shareholder rewards.
For further clarification, the company noted that these forecasts are contingent upon currently available information and certain assumptions deemed reasonable by management. Actual results may vary significantly due to various factors beyond the company’s control. Investors should consider these risks when evaluating the revised dividend projections.
