How are dividends disclosed in Japan?

Japanese companies announce dividends through TDNet filings, typically alongside or shortly after earnings reports. Dividend details are also included in the kessan tanshin (earnings summary). Pulse News Wire captures both standalone dividend filings and dividend information within earnings reports.

Do all Japanese companies pay dividends?

No. Dividend payments are at the discretion of each company's board. However, all dividend-related disclosures filed on TDNet — whether announcing, revising, or canceling dividends — are translated by Pulse News Wire.

What is the ex-dividend process for Japanese stocks?

Japanese stocks typically go ex-dividend on the record date itself (usually the fiscal year-end or half-year date). Shareholders of record on that date receive the dividend. Settlement is T+2 in Japan, so shares must be purchased at least two business days before the record date.

Are special dividends and commemorative dividends included?

Yes. Pulse News Wire translates all dividend-related filings including regular, interim, special, and commemorative dividends.

Can I track dividend revisions?

Yes. When companies revise their dividend forecasts (upward or downward), the revision filing is translated and published as a separate article, linked to the original announcement.
