Meito Co., Ltd. Revises Dividend Forecast for FY2027

Meito Co., Ltd. (TSE:2207) has revised its dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 to reflect a planned 1-for-2 stock split.

The revision stems from a 1-for-2 stock split with a record date of December 31, 2026, effective January 1, 2027. The interim dividend, payable on the basis of shares outstanding before the split (record date September 30, 2026), remains unchanged at JPY 40.00/share. However, the year-end dividend has been adjusted to JPY 20.00/share to account for the increased share count following the split (record date March 31, 2027). This adjustment ensures the per-share dividend reflects the post-split capital structure while maintaining the economic substance of the total payout.

The revision represents a technical adjustment rather than a fundamental change in dividend policy. While the per-share year-end dividend declines to JPY 20.00, this reflects the mechanical impact of doubling the share count. Investors holding shares through the split will receive proportionally equivalent distributions on their expanded shareholdings. The combined interim and adjusted year-end dividends preserve the company’s commitment to shareholder returns in the context of its capital restructuring.
