Nissan Faces Weak Earnings Outlook Amid Cost Pressure, Chinese Competition -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-10

0512 GMT - Nissan Motor's earnings outlook is weak amid mounting cost and competition pressures, Morningstar analyst Vincent Sun says in a note. He expects FY 2025 consolidated revenue, retail volume, and operating loss -- projected at Y285 billion - to be worse than Nissan's guidance. While Sun maintains fiscal 2025-2029 sales volume and automotive revenue forecasts, he lowers operating profit projections on cost pressures in the auto segment. Nissan will need more time to revamp its model lineup and streamline costs to regain growth momentum, Sun adds, though he doesn't see "a quick fix to longer-term challenges, especially with intense competition in China." Tariffs, inflation and currency headwinds are all expected to continue weighing on profitability. Morningstar cuts Nissan's fair value estimate to Y375 from Y395. Shares last traded at Y351.70.
