Rakuten ( (JP:4755) ) has issued an update.

Rakuten Group’s board has decided not to pay a year-end dividend for the fiscal year with a record date of December 31, 2025, as it prioritizes financial soundness and the reduction of interest-bearing debt. The company says limiting cash outflows will help secure funds for growth investments, stabilize its balance sheet and ultimately enhance shareholder value, while maintaining a long-term policy of stable, continuous dividends and targeting a resumption after improving consolidated results.

To offset the lack of cash dividends, Rakuten will again provide a shareholder benefit program, offering eligible investors a six-month free Rakuten Mobile voice and data plan with 30 GB per month and renewal eligibility. By extending this perk, the group aims to reward shareholder loyalty and promote deeper use and understanding of Rakuten Mobile, a core strategic business that has surpassed 10 million subscribers and is investing in network quality, including its new platinum band service.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4755) stock is a Buy with a Yen1110.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Rakuten stock, see the JP:4755 Stock Forecast page.
