What The Pokémon Company would pay out on its profit for the year to February 2026 if it repeated the rate of its two past dividends

What this is

What The Pokémon Company would pay out on its profit for the year to February 2026 if it repeated the rate of its two past dividends: about ¥19–23bn, of which Nintendo's 32% would be about ¥6–7bn. That is 4.6–5.5% of the parent's retained earnings.

How it’s built

1. The two past payouts were 18.4% and 18.8% of the previous year's parent net profit, from the company's notices in Japan's official gazette.
2. Low end: 18.4% of profit with the year's one-off gain removed after tax (¥103.6bn). High end: 18.8% of reported profit (¥120.1bn).
3. Nintendo's part is 32% of each, its voting share; the share of retained earnings divides by ¥413.9bn.

What we assumed

• The past rate repeats.Two payouts in ten years are not a policy, and the company has announced none. This is an illustration of scale.
• The payout is sized on either reported profit or profit without the one-off gain.Which the company would use is not known, so both ends are shown.
• Nintendo receives in line with its 32% voting share.Its economic share is taken to equal its voting share; if they differ, Nintendo's part scales accordingly.

Sanity check

18.8% of ¥120.1bn is ¥22.6bn, about one-twentieth of the ¥413.9bn already retained, so cash would keep building even with a payout.
