These declines were influenced by sustained raw material and energy costs, increased R&D expenses, and other factors. The dividend forecast has been revised upward to 37 yen per share, from the previous estimate of 36 yen. Additionally, a valuation loss of 2,027 million yen on investments in affiliates has been recorded as a special loss.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nWhile the increase in dividends aims to strengthen shareholder returns, the company's net income has declined significantly due to higher costs and valuation losses. Going forward, Nichicon plans to focus on cost management and operational efficiency, aiming to maintain and improve shareholder value. Although the recording of special losses has short-term effects, the company will continue its efforts toward long-term profit recovery.","jir_financial_highlights":"Full-year net income (individual): 5,502 million yen (down 46.4% YoY)\nAnnual dividend: 37 yen (1 yen increase from previous forecast of 36 yen)\nEvaluation loss on investments in affiliates: 2,027 million yen (recognized as new)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Nichicon, #FinancialResults, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"Net income: 5,502 million yen (down 46.4% YoY)\nDividends: 37 yen (increase)\nEvaluation loss on investments in affiliates: 2,027 million yen","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Nichicon\u3011Dividend Revision and Recording of Special Losses | May 2026","jir_meta_description":"Nichicon has revised its dividend forecast for fiscal year ending March 2026 to 37 yen and recorded evaluation loss on investments in affiliates.
