Nomura Research Institute (TYO:4307) will pay a year-end dividend of 42 yen per share for the fiscal year ended March 2026, up from 34 yen a year earlier, according to a Tuesday filing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The dividend payment totals 24.124 billion yen and will take effect on May 29. The company's full-year dividend will amount to 77 yen per share, compared with 63 yen in the prior fiscal year, after including an interim dividend of 35 yen per share paid in November 2025.

The company said favorable business performance in Japan and the limited cash flow impact from impairment losses supported the higher payout.
