The dividends have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade, despite some growth.

Dividend Yield: 4.2%

Mitsui Chemicals' dividend yield of 4.17% is among the top 25% in Japan, supported by a payout ratio of 53.5%, indicating coverage by earnings and cash flows. However, its dividend history has been unstable over the past decade despite some growth. The company's financial position is challenged by high debt levels and large one-off items affecting earnings quality. Recent efforts to consolidate ethylene facilities with Idemitsu Kosan aim to improve production efficiency amid a tough petrochemical market environment in Japan.
