SHIFT announced on the 15th that it has revised its capital allocation policy and will begin paying dividends from the fiscal year ending August 2026. The company had previously continued growth investments such as business expansion and M&A, but it has determined that it now has the financial capacity to balance shareholder returns while continuing to invest. Using profits earned through fiscal 2028 as a source, it will set the total payout ratio at 20%. Of that, 10% will be allocated to dividends, and the remaining 10% will be used for flexible measures such as dividends or share buybacks depending on the circumstances at the time. The dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending August 2026 is set at 4.10 yen.
