Weathernews Inc. ( (JP:4825) ) has provided an update.
Weathernews Inc. has approved a 2-for-1 stock split effective March 1, 2026, aiming to improve share liquidity and broaden its investor base by lowering the investment unit price. In tandem, the company will amend its Articles of Incorporation to double the total number of authorized shares to 188 million, while keeping stated capital unchanged, reinforcing its capacity for future equity-related initiatives. The board also revised its year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending May 2026 to reflect the stock split mechanics and announced plans for a 40th anniversary commemorative dividend, targeting a consolidated payout ratio of 100% and projecting total dividends of around 60–70 yen per share on a pre-split basis. These measures underscore management’s confidence in progress toward its mid-term goal of a 20% or higher operating profit margin and signal a continued emphasis on generous shareholder returns as the company marks its 40th year in business.
