High dividends expected from Inui Kisen Steamship, Unicharm continues to attract attention due to the aging population, EIDIA is growing rapidly, and more!
The stock market was in the midst of a rush of financial results, and some stocks were volatile. However, the news that Kazuo Ueda, 71, will be appointed as the Bank of Japan’s new governor starting this April has created a “wait-and-see” mood in the market as a whole. The market is now in a “wait-and-see” mood, and the temporary weakness is a good time to buy stocks that will grow strongly in the years ahead. We asked investment professionals for their “picks for this year.
First, let us list stocks that pay high dividends. Many stocks have a vesting date in March, the end of the fiscal year, when the right to receive dividends is fixed. Bank stocks are popular for their stable dividends. Mr. Norifumi Okayama, Market Bank representative, says, “In December last year, the Bank of Japan announced a large-scale dividend payment.
“When the Bank of Japan announced its plan to revise its large-scale monetary easing policy last December, the share prices of the three mega banks, including Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, rose. Megabanks are expected to be fund buyers and feature high yields relative to their prices. They are easy to recommend for beginner investors.”
The fact that they continue to pay dividends is evidence of the underlying strength of the companies. Securities journalist Hiroaki Konno says that it is better to buy stocks of companies that continue to “increase dividends continuously.
Mitsubishi HC Capital, a major general leasing company, plans to raise its dividend for the 24th consecutive fiscal year ending March 2011. Unicharm, a well-known manufacturer of hygiene products, has also announced that it will increase its dividend for the 22nd consecutive fiscal year. Combined with the aging of the population, demand for nursing diapers is growing both in Japan and overseas, regardless of the economy.”
Are there any “super profitable dividend stocks” known to those in the know? Shunsuke Tojo, an individual investor who has become a “billionaire,” explains.
There are many high-dividend stocks in the shipping industry, but one of the lesser-known ones is Inui Kisen Kaisha. The expected dividend per share at the end of March this year is 177 yen, and if you buy one unit (100 shares) now, you can get just under 20,000 yen. The company’s dividend is 50 yen per share, and if you buy one unit of stock, you will receive a dividend of 5,000 yen. The continued popularity of golf, which spread after the COVID-19 crisis, is also a positive factor.
