Tokio Marine's Shareholder Returns Could Rise on Berkshire Partnership -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-25 11:11

0311 GMT - Tokio Marine's shareholder returns could rise on its recent partnership with U.S. conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, says Morningstar's Iris Tan in a note. The agreement between the two companies boosted the Japanese insurer's shareholder returns, with its dividend per share rising 12% and share buybacks surging 59% in FY 2026, the analyst notes. She expects dividends to gain at a 9% compound annual growth rate through FY 2029, while buybacks are likely to hold at this level. Tokio Marine's valuation premium also remains supported by its above-peer return on equity, she adds, as its adjusted return on equity excluding equity sales gains reached 14%, while peers were largely below 8%. Morningstar raises its fair-value estimate to 7,500 yen from 5,500 yen. Shares are down 0.2% at Y7,365. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
