Japanese trading giant Mitsubishi Corp announced plans to invest at least 4 trillion yen ($27 billion) over the next three years to drive growth and innovation. The company aims to boost its net profit to 1.2 trillion yen ($8 billion) by the 2027/28 financial year.
As part of its new three-year management strategy starting April 2025, Mitsubishi will allocate 1 trillion yen to sustaining capital expenditure and over 3 trillion yen to growth-oriented investments. The company emphasized its commitment to shareholder returns through progressive dividends and flexible share buybacks, including a plan to repurchase up to 1 trillion yen of its own shares between April 4, 2025, and March 31, 2026.
Mitsubishi also noted that in cases of surplus cash, it would consider using the funds for further investments or additional shareholder returns, depending on its investment pipeline and financial outlook.
Despite a recent setback involving a 52.2 billion yen impairment charge on domestic offshore wind projects, the company remains confident in its long-term strategy. It had forecasted a net profit of 950 billion yen for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, but now anticipates a decline to 700 billion yen for the current fiscal year. Still, it plans to raise its annual dividend by 10 yen to 110 yen per share.
U.S. investment firm Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, is Mitsubishi’s largest shareholder, holding a 9.67% stake, according to LSEG data.
Mitsubishi’s strategic focus on large-scale investments, shareholder returns, and long-term profitability underscores its vision for sustainable growth in a competitive global market.
