Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: ITmedia Inc. focuses on developing and operating internet-only media that offers information on diverse topics in Japan, with a market cap of ¥31.27 billion.
Operations: ITmedia Inc. generates revenue through its B to B Media segment, which accounts for ¥6.62 billion, and its B to C Media segment, contributing ¥1.55 billion.
Dividend Yield: 6.2%
ITmedia's dividend yield of 6.21% ranks in the top 25% of Japanese dividend payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 136.9%. Despite stable and growing dividends over the past decade, these payments are not well covered by earnings or cash flows. Recent guidance forecasts net sales at ¥8.5 billion and operating profit at ¥2.1 billion for fiscal year ending March 2026, indicating potential growth but not necessarily improved dividend coverage.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Toyo Kanetsu K.K. operates in plant and machinery, material handling systems, and other businesses across Japan, Southeast Asia, and internationally with a market cap of ¥39.74 billion.
Operations: Toyo Kanetsu K.K. generates revenue from its operations in plant and machinery, as well as material handling systems, serving markets in Japan, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
Dividend Yield: 3.9%
Toyo Kanetsu K.K.'s dividend yield of 3.91% places it among the top 25% of Japanese dividend payers, but its sustainability is challenged by a high cash payout ratio of 179%. While dividends have grown over the past decade, they remain volatile and not well covered by cash flows. Recent developments include a share split effective January 2026 and revised dividend guidance to ¥50 per share due to this split, reflecting ongoing adjustments in their financial strategy.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Aoyama Zaisan Networks Company, Limited offers property consulting solutions to individual and institutional asset owners in Japan, with a market cap of ¥38.13 billion.
Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its Property Consulting Business, which generated ¥47.83 billion.
Dividend Yield: 3.2%
Aoyama Zaisan Networks Company Limited offers a stable dividend profile with a payout ratio of 36.5%, ensuring dividends are well covered by earnings. The company has maintained reliable and growing dividends over the past decade, though its yield of 3.21% is below the top tier in Japan. With earnings growth of 26.8% last year and trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value, it presents an attractive option for income-focused investors seeking stability in Asia's market.
