Dividend
We aim to mid to long term increase the stock price and pay dividends consistently.
Dividend Policy
CyberAgent considers the return of earnings to shareholders to be a top management priority. Our basic policy is to improve the stock price over the mid to long term by growing the business and improving capital efficiency while providing dividends. The company is currently investing in “ABEMA,” the new future of TV, to develop a new business pillar over the medium to long term. The new management index “DOE* 5% or more” as guidance is set to reciprocate shareholders’ support during the investment period.
