Does the announcement affect the company's valuation multiples (e.g., P/E, EV/EBITDA)?

The dividend announcement itself does not change Jian Pu’s earnings, cash‑flow generation, or debt profile, so the underlying valuation multiples (P/E, EV/EBITDA, etc.) remain essentially unchanged. What the market will react to is the mechanical price adjustment that typically occurs on the ex‑dividend date: the share price is expected to drop roughly by the amount of the cash dividend (adjusted for any market‑wide drift). Since the market‑cap component of the EV denominator moves in tandem with the price, the P/E and EV/EBITDA ratios will momentarily shift in the same direction (i.e., a slightly higher P/E and EV/EBITDA after the price drop). The effect is purely arithmetic and short‑lived; once the dividend is paid, the price usually re‑equilibrates and the multiples revert to their pre‑announcement levels.

From a trading standpoint, the dividend signal is neutral to fundamentals but can create a short‑term opportunity. If you own AIJTY, you can lock in the cash payout by holding the stock through the record date, but you should anticipate a modest price dip on September 9, 2025. Traders looking to capture the dividend should be prepared for that expected dip and may set a tight stop‑loss just below the expected ex‑dividend price adjustment. For valuation‑focused investors, the announcement does not merit a re‑rating of the company's multiple‑based valuation; any temporary change in P/E or EV/EBITDA will be a mechanical artifact that disappears once the dividend is settled and the price stabilizes.
