of 66.5 yen per share. The dividend determination criteria adopt the larger of either a 6% DOE or a 50% payout ratio, and the forecast for 2026 is set at the same amount of 133 yen as the previous term. Although the basis for dividend calculation has been changed due to the transition to non-consolidated accounting, the policy remains unchanged.\n\n### Background and Future Outlook for Dividends\nThe company continues to base dividends on retained earnings and emphasizes shareholder returns. The payout ratio for FY2026 is relatively high at 107.6%, but by adopting the larger of either the payout ratio or DOE, a stable dividend is expected to be maintained. Going forward, the company aims to secure profits while actively returning value to shareholders, demonstrating its commitment to shareholder support.","jir_financial_highlights":"Dividend per share: 66 yen 50 sen (YoY +10.5 yen (FY2025: 56 yen))\nTotal dividends: 3,499 million yen (Unknown last term)\nPayout ratio: 107.6% (Last term: 49.8%)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#JAFCO, #Dividend, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"Dividend per share: 66 yen 50 sen\nTotal dividends: 3,499 million yen\nPayout ratio: 107.6%","jir_meta_title":"\u3010JAFCO\u3011Dividend Increase and Policy\uff5cMay 2026","jir_meta_description":"JAFCO Group has decided on a dividend of 66.5 yen for FY2026, maintaining a policy based on either a 50% payout ratio or a DOE of 6%, whichever is larger.
