Nissan Motor is scheduled to report first-half results on Thursday. Here is what you need to know:

 

NET LOSS: Nissan last week estimated a net loss of 230.00 billion yen, equivalent to $1.50 billion, for the six months ended September, compared with net profit of Y19.22 billion in the year-earlier period.

REVENUE: First-half revenue is estimated to have dropped 8.1% from a year earlier to Y5.500 trillion, the Japanese carmaker said last week.

The stock has fallen 27% so far this year through Tuesday, weighed by concerns about weak sales and the impact of U.S. tariffs on its operations.

 

WHAT TO WATCH:

--Nissan said last week that it expected to book an operating loss of Y275.00 billion for the fiscal year ending March, estimating revenue to drop 7.4% to Y11.700 trillion. The company added that it was difficult to forecast net results, as it was assessing restructuring costs related to its recovery plan. Investors will be focusing on any changes management might make to the annual guidance.

--Nissan has said it will slash 20,000 jobs over the four years through March 2028 and aims to reduce its global production capacity to 2.5 million units from 3.5 million units, excluding China. Investors will be closely watching any updates on its restructuring efforts.

--Nissan said last week it expected a Y275 billion drag on annual operating results from U.S. tariffs. Investors will pay attention to any additional steps management might take to mitigate the impact.
