Five Japanese Companies Announce Cash Dividends With Ex-Dates Set for September

Five Japanese companies have announced cash dividends with an ex-dividend date of September 29, 2026: Kawasaki Heavy Industries, $0.12 per share; Chubu Electric Power, $0.22; OBIC, $0.29; Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, $0.62; and Shionogi, $0.24. The companies span industrial engineering, electric utilities, enterprise software, shipping and logistics, and pharmaceuticals. The articles frame the payouts as an opportunity to assess dividend sustainability, but the available excerpts do not provide enough financial analysis to establish whether the payments are sustainable; they note consistent dividend records since 2020 for Chubu Electric and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, and since 2014 for Shionogi.
OBIC’s revenue model combines project-based system construction with recurring maintenance and support contracts; the article says this recurring business can provide predictable cash flow to support dividends.
Chubu Electric’s operations include electricity and gas supply, multiple generation sources, and fuel trading through JERA, its joint venture with Tokyo Electric Power.
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines distributes dividends twice a year and is expanding into offshore wind and other low-carbon businesses, alongside its shipping and logistics operations.
Shionogi’s specific payment date was listed as unconfirmed in the available data (shown as “0000-00-00”).
