The dividend payout ratio is about 25%, and there is room for dividend increases, but there are no plans to increase dividends in particular

NYK Line has a dividend payout ratio of 25% (25% of profits are issued as dividends), so there is considerable room to increase dividends.
However, since NYK Line is aiming for a dividend payout ratio of 25%, dividends cannot be expected if profits do not increase in the future.
However, since the dividend payout ratio is 25% and the remaining 75% can be used for business investment, further increases in stock prices and associated increases in dividends can be expected.
There is a possibility that demand for marine transportation services carried out by NYK Line will continue to increase due to an increase in cargo volume associated with an increase in the world population.
Therefore, it is thought that there is still room for stock price growth in the future.
