ROE up Modestly, but ROE Plus DOE Is Expected to Reach a Record High This Fiscal Year

By Aki Matsumoto

  • ROE has not risen at the pace expected, but dividends have begun to increase, and in FY2021 DOE rose to the 3% range for the first time.
  • While ROE alone will not surpass the record high of FY2017, ROE plus DOE (ROE+DOE) is expected to slightly surpass the record high of FY2017 in FY2022.
  • Even in FY2021, when DOE increased, Equity Ratio increased (and total assets also increased), so there is still room to increase shareholder returns, given that cash on hand increased.
