The company's dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, supported by a sustainable payout ratio of 44.2%.

Overview: SBI Global Asset Management Co., Ltd. offers financial and asset management services both in Japan and globally, with a market cap of ¥87.21 billion.
Operations: SBI Global Asset Management Co., Ltd. generates its revenue primarily through financial and asset management services offered domestically and internationally.
Dividend Yield: 3.7%
SBI Global Asset Management's dividend profile is characterized by a stable and growing dividend history over the past decade, despite a high cash payout ratio of 146.6%, indicating dividends are not well covered by free cash flows. The company recently announced its eighth consecutive interim dividend increase to ¥9.50 per share, reflecting robust Q1 performance with net sales and operating profit reaching record highs. However, shareholder dilution in the past year may concern some investors.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: DTS Corporation offers systems integration services in Japan and has a market cap of ¥185.63 billion.
Operations: DTS Corporation's revenue is primarily derived from three segments: Platform & Services at ¥36.83 billion, Operations & Solutions at ¥54.07 billion, and Technology & Solutions at ¥46.07 billion.
Dividend Yield: 3.2%
DTS Corporation's dividend profile reveals a mixed picture. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 50.7% and cash payout ratio of 73.9%, dividends have been volatile over the past decade, with periods of significant drops. Recent earnings growth, highlighted by net income rising to ¥11.64 billion, supports current payouts but does not guarantee stability due to past inconsistencies in dividend payments. The company's recent share buyback could enhance capital efficiency and potentially improve shareholder returns moving forward.
