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.

In addition to dividends, shareholders holding 100 shares or more can also receive shareholder benefits.
Specifically, it is a special discount voucher for the luxury cruise ship "Asuka Cruise". For each voucher, the fare for one cruise passenger is discounted by 10%.
Asuka Cruise costs at least 0.1 million yen per person, and a round-the-world trip in a Royal Suite costs about 30 million yen. Therefore, especially when considering high-cost trips, even a 10% discount like 3 million yen can make a significant difference in the amount.
When making a reservation with a travel agency, it is necessary to present the special discount vouchers. There are some points to note when using them, so be sure to check them before actual use.

When examining the past trend of dividends, there is variation from 20 yen to 1,435 yen, but essentially dividends are paid every year. Moreover, there has been a consecutive increase in dividends for 3 years since the fiscal year ending March 2020, which is very attractive for those aiming for a dividend-based lifestyle.
In the fiscal year ending March 2017, there was no dividends (0 yen), but from now on, a minimum lower limit amount not affected by performance has been set.It is recommended to continue the strategy of returning dividends of 20 yen per share annually for shareholders.
When the minimum dividends are set, there is a sense of security when considering investment destinations.
