TSE:8473

SBI Holdings announced a revision to its dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The company has set the year-end dividend forecast at ¥75 per share (equivalent to ¥150 per share on a pre–stock split basis). This represents an increase of ¥10 compared with the previous fiscal year’s year-end dividend on the same basis.

The revision reflects strong profit levels in the company’s Financial Services Business reported in the third-quarter consolidated results for FY2026.

SBI also noted that it completed a share buyback program with a maximum limit of ¥50 billion in February 2026. Including this buyback and the revised dividend forecast, the company expects total shareholder returns for the fiscal year to reach approximately ¥111.7 billion.

The company conducted a two-for-one stock split effective December 1, 2025, meaning earlier interim dividends were calculated based on the pre-split share count.
