The latest update is out from SUBARU ( (JP:7270) ).

Subaru Corporation reported a sharp deterioration in its non-consolidated results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, compared with the prior year, as net sales fell 8.5% to ¥2.50 trillion and operating income plunged 99.5% to just ¥1.45 billion. Ordinary income dropped 89.7% to ¥39.68 billion, and the company swung to a net loss of ¥51.36 billion, reversing a ¥325.02 billion profit a year earlier.

The automaker attributed the earnings collapse primarily to lower vehicle unit sales and additional tariffs imposed in the United States, which squeezed margins in a key market. Profitability was further undermined by reduced dividend income, losses related to environmental regulatory credits, and increased expenses tied to battery electric vehicle initiatives, signaling mounting cost and regulatory pressures on Subaru’s transition toward electrification.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:7270) stock is a Sell with a Yen2800.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on SUBARU stock, see the JP:7270 Stock Forecast page.
