Shiga Bank, Ltd. ( (JP:8366) ) just unveiled an update.
Shiga Bank has revised its shareholder return policy under its 8th Medium-Term Business Plan, shifting its focus from a total shareholder return ratio target of around 40% over five years to aiming for a dividend payout ratio of approximately 40% through March 2029. The bank will also conduct share buybacks in a flexible, timely manner, depending on business conditions and capital levels.
The change, effective from fiscal year 2026 ending March 31, 2027, is intended to further enhance shareholder returns primarily via dividends while maintaining its “Sampo yoshi” capital policy that balances financial stability, growth investment, and returns to shareholders. This move signals a clearer, more dividend-centric framework for capital allocation, which may provide greater visibility and appeal for investors focused on stable income from regional financial institutions.
