Hanwa has approved an increased year-end dividend of 165 yen per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, up 40 yen from its previous forecast, bringing the total annual dividend to 290 yen including the interim payout. The move, subject to shareholder approval in June 2026, reflects the company’s policy of stable and rising dividends and its use of retained earnings to support both shareholder returns and growth investments.
In tandem with its new Medium-Term Business Plan 2028, Hanwa has lifted its minimum dividend-on-equity ratio from 2.5% to 3.5% and set a target total shareholder return ratio of about 40%. The company also plans to combine higher dividends with potential share buybacks and expects to pay an annual dividend equivalent to 330 yen per share on a pre-stock-split basis for FY2026, underscoring a stronger commitment to rewarding shareholders over the medium to long term.
