FANUC’s board approved an interim cash dividend of ¥72.54 per share on 23 October 2026 for the six months ended 30 September. The disclosed record date was 30 September 2026, while the effective date is1 December 2026.
The distinction matters: the record date had already passed when the board announced the distribution. The future effective date is not a new opportunity to qualify by buying shares now, and the announcement is not evidence that payment has already been completed.

How to read the shareholder amount
A cash dividend distributes money per qualifying share; it is not a stock split or a bonus-share issue. For illustration, 100 qualifying shares × ¥72.54 gives a gross amount of ¥7,254. That arithmetic does not prove a particular investor’s entitlement and does not calculate any deductions or currency conversion.
The total distribution is stated in millions of yen in the filing. ¥67,093 million means ¥67.093 billion, not ¥67,093 billion. The60% payout ratio relates to the company’s profit-distribution policy; it is not a 60% share-price yield or a promised investment return.
Keep the comparisons and dates separate
The previous September-half dividend was ¥51.33 per share. The ¥55.76 amount also shown in the table relates to the 31 March 2026 record date; it is not the previous-year September interim amount. No live market-price input has been checked here, so the report does not calculate a dividend yield.
The exact primary evidence is FANUC’s23 October dividend announcement. Its official disclosures index links the same document; it is provenance, not independent corroboration. The reviewed notice does not establish a last buying date or individual shareholder tax outcome.
