Rating:45Neutral
Price Target:
¥357.00
▼(-2.19% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:05/15/26
The score is held down primarily by deteriorated financial performance (recent net losses, higher leverage, and mostly negative free cash flow). Technicals are neutral and do not provide strong support. Earnings-call guidance improves the outlook via targeted cost savings and a return-to-profit plan, but near-term execution and tariff/one-time headwinds keep overall risk elevated.
Positive Factors
Cost savings & manufacturing improvements
Large, structural Re:Nissan savings and targeted manufacturing-cost improvements materially lower Nissan's structural breakeven and fixed-cost base. Sustained reductions in manufacturing and fixed costs improve margin durability, free up cash for product investment, and lengthen runway for turnaround execution.
Negative Factors
Rising leverage
Rapidly higher leverage constrains financial flexibility and increases fixed interest costs, limiting Nissan's ability to invest in EVs and platform upgrades. With elevated debt and recent losses, the company faces greater refinancing and covenant sensitivity over the next several quarters.

Nissan Motor Co Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 13, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call presents a mixed but improving picture: Nissan delivered meaningful execution wins under Re:Nissan (returned to consolidated operating profit, second-half cash flow positivity, sizeable fixed-cost savings, capex/R&D discipline and a constructive FY2026 outlook) while still carrying substantial legacy and timing challenges (a large FY2025 net loss driven by impairments and restructuring, significant tariff headwinds, full-year negative free cash flow, and material regional volume declines). Progress on cost savings and product launches supports a constructive recovery trajectory, but near-term profitability and cash flow remain exposed to tariffs, one-time items and uneven market demand.Positive Updates
Returned to Operating Profit
Consolidated operating profit of JPY 58 billion in FY2025, ahead of expectations, driven by Re:Nissan cost actions and one-time benefits.
Negative Updates
Large Net Loss Driven by Impairments and Restructuring
Net loss for FY2025 of JPY 533.1 billion, including impairments of approximately JPY 360 billion and Re:Nissan-related restructuring costs of around JPY 125 billion.

Company Guidance
Nissan guided FY2026 to a gradual recovery: unit sales are expected to rise 4.7% to 3.3 million units with planned production of 2.95 million, driving consolidated revenue to JPY 13 trillion and an operating profit target of JPY 200 billion (1.5% margin) and a projected net income of about JPY 20 billion; automotive operating profit and free cash flow are expected to be positive before tariffs (management aims for after-tariff automotive FCF improvement toward the end of FY26). The outlook assumes FX rates of JPY 150/USD and JPY 175/EUR, with foreign exchange a JPY 20 billion headwind, rising raw material costs a JPY 85 billion headwind, a JPY 60 billion inflation headwind and onetime negatives of JPY 150 billion, partly offset by manufacturing cost savings of JPY 340 billion from Re:Nissan and an expected improvement in U.S. tariff burden (management cites roughly JPY 250 billion of tariff headwind next year after a ~JPY 30 billion improvement), while capacity and cost actions (targeting ~2.5 million breakeven capacity outside China and ~80% utilization by end-FY26) and prior FY25 metrics—3.15 million vehicles sold, JPY 12 trillion revenue, JPY 58 billion operating profit, net loss JPY 533 billion, CapEx down 13.5% and R&D down 9.1%—provide context for the plan.Nissan Motor Co Financial Statement Overview
