Dividend Yield: 3.9%

Nanto Bank's dividend yield ranks in the top 25% of the Japanese market, with a low payout ratio of 25.1%, suggesting dividends are well covered by earnings.

Recent guidance indicates a decrease in year-end dividends to ¥63 per share from ¥74 last year, despite strong earnings growth of 201.9%. The bank trades significantly below estimated fair value, presenting potential value opportunities for investors.
