Dividend Yield: 4.4%

Japan Investment Adviser shows potential for dividend investors with a recent increase in its quarterly dividend to ¥43 per share from ¥12.

Despite this, payouts are well-covered by earnings (41.3%) and cash flows (85.9%). However, operating cash flow does not adequately cover debt obligations, suggesting financial caution is warranted.
