Suzuken Boosts Shareholder Returns With Higher Dividend and New Payout Policy

Suzuken Co ( (JP:9987) ) has provided an announcement.

Suzuken has approved a new shareholder return policy that targets a total payout ratio of 100 percent through a combination of dividends and flexible share repurchases, while adopting dividend on equity as a key performance indicator to stabilize and enhance dividend visibility. The company plans to raise DOE in stages during its Medium-Term Management Plan, aiming for about 3 percent by the fiscal year ending March 2029, with the new policy to be applied for three years starting in the year ending March 2027.

Aligned with this framework, Suzuken forecasts an annual dividend of ¥120 per share for the fiscal year ending March 2027, an increase of ¥20 from the previous year, reflecting a stronger commitment to shareholder returns. The company is also considering a two-for-one stock split effective October 1, 2026, after which the year-end dividend is expected to be ¥30 per share and the annual dividend ¥90 per share on a post-split basis, leaving the overall cash payout unchanged but potentially improving share liquidity and accessibility.
