Tokyo Cosmos Electric Co.,Ltd. [6772.T]
TOKYO, Feb 25 (Pulse News Wire) -- Tokyo Cosmos Electric Co., Ltd. (6772.T), led by President and CEO Motoya Masato, announced on Saturday that its board of directors had revised the company's dividend policy and set an expected dividend payout for the current fiscal year. The changes were aimed at enhancing shareholder returns while maintaining stability.
The new dividend policy sets a target of distributing 100 percent of earnings as dividends, subject to a minimum Dividend Outflow Ratio (DOE) of 3.5 percent. This shift reflects the company’s commitment to more actively and consistently returning profits to shareholders, even during periods of significant short-term profit fluctuations. Previously, Tokyo Cosmos Electric focused on maintaining stable dividends based solely on the DOE metric without specifying a percentage of earnings distribution.
In addition to outlining the new dividend strategy, the company also provided updated dividend expectations for the current fiscal year. According to the announcement, the annual dividend per share is anticipated to be 40 yen, paid out entirely at the end of the fiscal year. This figure represents a change from previous forecasts and aligns with the post-share split dividend rate of 35 yen per share effective January 1, 2026.
Executive Director Nishitsunoh Ryuji explained that this decision was made considering both strategic investments and financial strengthening efforts necessary for long-term corporate value enhancement. The company calculates the DOE using the formula: Dividend Amount ÷ Average Net Asset Value, where the average net asset value is derived from the sum of the initial and final period net assets divided by two. Based on these calculations, the projected DOE for the current fiscal year is estimated to reach 3.5 percent.
