Senshu Ikeda Holdings hikes dividends, reshapes M&A advisory business

Senshu Ikeda Holdings resolved to increase its interim dividend to JPY 10.50 per share, leading to a revised annual forecast of JPY 21.00 per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, up from the previous JPY 16.00. This move aligns with an accelerated shareholder return policy aiming for a 40% payout ratio from FY2025 and includes suspending own share acquisitions to prioritize dividends.

In a concurrent strategic move, the company plans an incorporation-type split to establish Senshu Ikeda M&A Solutions Co., Ltd., effective January 30, 2026, to assume its M&A advisory business. Additionally, Senshu Ikeda Investment Management Co., Ltd., an investment company, will be established on the same date to manage a business succession fund. These initiatives aim to strengthen support for regional economies and corporate growth.

For the six months ended September 30, 2025, consolidated ordinary revenue increased by 18.8% to JPY 54,696 million, with profit attributable to owners of the parent rising 2.5% to JPY 8,664 million. Total assets reached JPY 6,563,376 million, and total net assets were JPY 247,980 million as of September 30, 2025.
