The latest announcement is out from Nippon Thompson Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6480) ).
Nippon Thompson reported that its full-year results for the period ended March 31, 2026 significantly exceeded prior forecasts, with net sales, operating profit, ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent all beating guidance. The outperformance was driven by stronger-than-expected demand for electronics-related products, particularly semiconductor manufacturing equipment in China, and was further boosted by foreign-exchange gains from a weaker yen.
On the back of the stronger earnings and in line with its profit distribution policy, the board approved an increase in the year-end dividend to ¥15.5 per share, up from the earlier forecast of ¥14.0. This lifts the total annual dividend to ¥29.5 per share, supporting the company’s medium-term target of a total return ratio of at least 50% and a minimum dividend-on-equity ratio of 2.5%, and will be implemented following shareholder approval at the 77th Ordinary General Meeting.
