An announcement from Sony Financial Group Inc. ( (JP:8729) ) is now available.
Sony Financial Group Inc. has revised its year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, raising the projected dividend per share from ¥3.50 to ¥3.80. The change follows a previously announced share repurchase facility, which reduced the number of shares eligible for dividends and prompted the company to adjust its per-share payout while keeping total shareholder returns aligned with its capital policy.
The group reiterates its basic policy of providing stable dividends while securing sufficient capital for financial soundness and investment in growth areas across its subsidiaries. It continues to target a payout ratio of 40% to 50% of IFRS adjusted net income and will determine the final dividend based on overall consolidated results, financial condition, and future business expansion plans, signaling a balanced approach to rewarding shareholders and funding growth.
