TOKYO -- Fujitsu will consider raising its dividend for fiscal 2017 from the prospective rate of 11 yen per share after assessing growth in the company's commercial information technology services.
"It is possible that we will do a positive reassessment of the expected dividend as performance for the current fiscal year comes into focus," said Hidehiro Tsukano, chief financial officer, implying a dividend hike. He did not reveal a payout ratio target. The Japanese IT company's fiscal 2016 dividend was 9 yen per share.
