Waseda Academy Digitizes March Shareholder Benefits With E-Money Vouchers

The latest update is out from Waseda Academy Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4718) ).

Waseda Academy will digitize part of its shareholder benefits program by replacing the March record-date QUO CARD with an electronic money voucher that can be exchanged for various e-payment apps, while maintaining the existing September shareholder benefit coupons. The change, effective from the March 31, 2026 record date, keeps benefit values unchanged but is intended to improve convenience, support long-term shareholding, and strengthen the appeal of its stock to investors, though shareholders must observe validity periods when exchanging and using the new digital benefits.

Under the revised scheme, shareholders holding at least 100 shares for less than three years will receive an electronic voucher worth ¥1,000, rising to ¥2,000 for those holding for three years or more, aligned with the current benefit levels. Eligibility for the long-term benefit continues to require being listed under the same shareholder number in the registry at both March 31 and September 30 for at least seven consecutive periods, encouraging stable ownership and potentially enhancing the company’s investor base profile.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4718) stock is a Buy with a Yen2222.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Waseda Academy Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:4718 Stock Forecast page.
