Juroku Financial Group, Inc. Raises Interim Dividend for 5th Anniversary Commemorative Payout
Juroku Financial Group, Inc. (TSE:7380) has revised upward its interim dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, adding a JPY 5.00 per-share commemorative dividend to mark the holding company’s 5th anniversary of establishment on October 1, 2026.
| Item | Previous Forecast (Jul 22, 2026) | Revised Forecast | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interim Dividend | JPY 25.00/share | JPY 30.00/share (Regular JPY 25.00 + Commemorative JPY 5.00) | +JPY 5.00 (+20.0%) |
| Year-end Dividend | JPY 28.00/share | JPY 28.00/share (unchanged) | — |
| Annual Dividend | JPY 53.00/share | JPY 58.00/share (Regular JPY 53.00 + Commemorative JPY 5.00) | +JPY 5.00 (+9.4%) |
The company’s board resolved the revision on September 18, 2026. Management attributed the increase to the milestone anniversary rather than a change in the underlying earnings outlook, stating the commemorative dividend reflects gratitude to shareholders. The year-end dividend forecast remains unchanged, and the final interim dividend amount will be formally decided at a board meeting in November 2026.
For reference, prior-year (FY ended March 2026) actual dividends were JPY 100.00 interim / JPY 140.00 year-end / JPY 240.00 total on a pre-split basis; Juroku carried out a 5-for-1 stock split effective April 1, 2026, so on a split-adjusted basis the prior year’s actual payout was JPY 20.00 interim / JPY 28.00 year-end / JPY 48.00 total. The company’s own reference materials show the dividend payout ratio rising to an estimated 34.2% for FY2027 (forecast) from 31.3% in FY2026, continuing a steady multi-year uptrend in shareholder returns.
