The latest update is out from Tokai Carbon Co ( (JP:5301) ).

Tokai Carbon has overhauled its shareholder return framework, shifting from a 30% dividend payout target to a more generous policy that pays the higher of a roughly 40% payout ratio or a 5% adjusted DOE, while also committing to flexible share buybacks to boost total shareholder return and capital efficiency. In tandem, the board raised its 2026 annual dividend forecast from ¥30 to ¥40 per share and adopted a plan to cut cross-shareholdings by about 70% by end-2028, redeploying proceeds into share repurchases to improve capital efficiency and align with rising scrutiny of cross-shareholdings in Japan.
