    Why Sojitz Stock Is Back on Investor Radars

    Sojitz (TSE:2768) has drawn fresh attention after reporting first quarter results, issuing profit guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2027, and outlining higher dividend plans for both the second quarter and year end.

    The recent guidance and dividend news comes after a strong run in Sojitz’s share price this year, with a year to date share price return of 14.04% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 54.69%. However, the 90 day share price return eased slightly with a 1.01% decline, suggesting momentum has cooled a little after a stronger stretch.
