Company Research Report: Wacom Co., Ltd. (6727)
Wacom Research Memo (9): The financial estimates for the fiscal year ending March 2025 anticipate a dividend of 20 yen per share. Efforts will also be made to acquire treasury stock.
Regarding Wacom's shareholder return policy, the basic policy is to ensure stable dividends while securing the necessary internal reserves for future business development and strengthening the management structure. With dividends, the company aims to maintain a dividend per share that is stable in principle, even if it exceeds the target dividend payout ratio of around 30% on a consolidated basis, keeping in mind the proper financial soundness. Through the medium to long-term increase in dividend per share, profits are prioritized.
Wacom Research Memo (8): "The Technology Solutions business has driven performance growth in recent years."
Looking at Wacom's performance trends up until the fiscal year ending March 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic, it is apparent that the significant drop in the fiscal year ending March 2017 was due to factors such as the appreciation of the yen, excessive investments in internal IT infrastructure, and shifts in the product cycle. Although there was a recovery alongside the growth of the "technology solutions business," the "branded products business" has shown a declining trend, and the losses from the "branded products business" were offset by the "technology".
