The medium-term management plan aims for sales of 53 billion yen, an operating profit margin of 13%, and an ROE of over 12%. As part of shareholder return policies, the dividend payout ratio is set at over 35%, with a minimum dividend of 70 yen. The stock price remains below the market average, indicating ongoing challenges in intrinsic valuation.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThe Board of Directors has opposed the shareholder proposal, prioritizing an increase in dividends and ensuring stock liquidity. IR activities will be strengthened to improve stock price valuation alongside dividend growth, aiming for long-term enhancement of business profitability. The proposal to amend articles of incorporation includes changing the record date of the shareholder register to May 15, promoting more transparent information disclosure and active shareholder engagement.","jir_financial_highlights":"ROE: 12.2\uff05 (Unknown compared to same period last year)\nROIC: 11.1\uff05 (Unknown compared to same period last year)\nPBR: 1.3 times (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Iwaki, #IRRelated, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"ROE: 12.2% (Fiscal Year ending March 2026)\nROIC: 11.1% (Fiscal Year ending March 2026)\nPBR: 1.3 times (Fiscal Year ending March 2026)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Iwaki\u3011Notice Regarding Medium-Term Management Plan and Shareholder Proposal | May 2026","jir_meta_description":"Iwaki's Board of Directors opposes the shareholder proposal submitted in April 2026.
