Hakuto Reports FY2025 Results, Announces Dividend Cuts

HII announced a quarterly cash dividend of $1.35 per share, payable on June 13, 2025, continuing its tradition as the nation’s largest military shipbuilder and global defense provider. Hawesko Holding SE declared a dividend of €1.30 per share, amounting to a 5.3% yield, with future payouts expected to be sustainable due to improved earnings forecasts, though its dividend history has seen instability. Hakuto Co., Ltd. reported a slight increase in annual net sales and operating profit but a small decrease in profit attributable to owners, leading to a reduction in annual dividends from ¥280.00 to ¥260.00 per share, and has set a year-end dividend of 130 yen per share as part of a plan to return profits to shareholders. Both Hakuto’s financial results and dividend strategy reflect cautious optimism amid market fluctuations, emphasizing capital efficiency and a total payout ratio target of 100%.
