▲(11.71% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:05/16/26
The score is held back primarily by weakened profitability and capital returns alongside higher leverage, despite recently improved (but historically volatile) free cash flow. Technicals are supportive with price above major moving averages, while valuation is mixed: a reasonable dividend yield is offset by a negative P/E that reduces earnings-based valuation visibility.
Positive Factors
Diversified product and revenue streams
Yamaha’s broad mix across motorcycles, marine products, aftermarket/service and financial services spreads demand risk across end markets and lifecycle revenue. Durable dealer/distribution channels and recurring parts/service revenue support steadier long-term cash flow and resilience versus single-product peers.
Negative Factors
Compressed operating and net margins
Substantially lower EBIT and near-zero net margin materially weaken earnings resilience. Persistent margin compression reduces retained earnings and limits capacity to invest or absorb shocks; reverting to prior margin levels requires sustained cost control or meaningful revenue mix improvement.

Company Guidance
In the Yamaha Motor Company's first quarter earnings presentation for fiscal year 2025, Hashimoto Mitsuru outlined a decline in both revenue and income, attributed to reduced sales in motorcycles, water vehicles, and LSM, along with increased R&D and labor costs. Revenue was reported at JPY625.9 billion, 97% of the previous year, while operating income rose by 56% to JPY43.6 billion. However, profit attributable to owners was down to 55% of the prior year at JPY30.7 billion, with an EPS of JPY31.47. The presentation noted a significant tariff impact expected from the second quarter, particularly affecting the marine business, and ongoing inventory adjustments in regions like India and the U.S. Despite uncertainties, Yamaha emphasized its commitment to mid to long-term growth, highlighted by acquisitions in the marine and SPV sectors, and continued efforts to enhance production capabilities and global sales channels.Yamaha Motor Co Financial Statement Overview
