The interim dividend is 36.0 yen, the year-end dividend forecast is 36.0 yen, and the annual dividend is 72.0 yen. The share buyback has an upper limit of 17,000,000 shares, a maximum acquisition amount of 50,000 million yen, and an acquisition period from 2026-11-04 to 2027-03-24. Additionally, 15,472,050 shares of treasury stock were cancelled as of 2026-10-20.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Financial Strategy\nThe dividend increase and share buyback are part of a policy aimed at improving capital efficiency through appropriate optimization of cash on hand and shareholder equity efficiency. The dividend increase strengthens shareholder returns, and the share buyback also contributes to anti-dilution measures. Specific amounts are stated as upper limits and will be decided comprehensively taking into account the financial condition and share price levels.","jir_financial_highlights":"Interim Dividend Determined: 36.0 yen (Previous forecast 32.0 yen \u2192 This time 36.0 yen)\nYear-end Dividend Forecast: 36.0 yen (Previous forecast 32.0 yen \u2192 This time 36.0 yen)\nAnnual Dividend Forecast: 72.0 yen (Previous forecast 64.0 yen \u2192 This time 72.0 yen)\nUpper Limit of Shares to be Acquired: 17,000,000 shares (Upper limit set)\nUpper Limit of Total Acquisition Amount: 50,000 million yen (Upper limit set)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NittoDenkoShares, #ShareBuyback, #DividendRevision, #CapitalPolicy","jir_key_figures":"Interim Dividend: 36.0 yen\nYear-end Dividend Forecast: 36.0 yen\nAnnual Dividend Forecast: 72.0 yen\nUpper Limit of Shares to be Acquired: 17,000,000 shares\nUpper Limit of Total Acquisition Amount: 50,000 million yen","jir_meta_title":"Nitto Denko Corporation: Dividend Increase and Share Buyback Announcement\uff5cOctober 27, 2026","jir_meta_description":"Nitto Denko Corporation raises the interim dividend to 36.0 yen and revises the annual dividend forecast to 72.0 yen.
