As described by Empower, dividend payout “represents the percent of the company's net income it pays out to its shareholders.” The 2025 fiscal year is shaping up to be an interesting one for Nintendo. It’ll likely be the final one of the Switch’s lifespan, as Nintendo has finally confirmed that it will reveal the successor to its hybrid console before the fiscal year ends.

Nintendo’s latest earnings report also showed that mobile/IP-related income was up more than 80 percent thanks to the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. For more on Nintendo and other financial news in the games industry, stick with Shacknews.
