Japan’s Nissan Sees Profit for Latest Quarter but Warns of Middle East and China Woes
Nissan reported a 3.8 billion yen profit as quarterly sales rose 9.5%, but it cut its annual sales forecast to 3.15 million vehicles.
- Nissan Motor Corp. reported Monday that it returned to profit in the first quarter, posting a 3.8 billion yen net profit, reversing the 115.8 billion yen loss from the same period in 2025.
- Despite improved results, Nissan lowered its annual sales projection to 3.15 million vehicles from 3.3 million, largely because fierce competition from Chinese automakers leading in electrification has pressured sales in China.
- Chief Executive Ivan Espinosa noted that sales grew in the U.S. and Japan, while production lines partially stalled last week due to a magnitude 7.1 earthquake in Kumamoto, affecting 5,000 vehicles.
- Japanese automakers face pressure from tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, negotiated down to 15% from an initial 27.5% rate, though they remain higher than the earlier 2.5% level.
- The war in Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a key export route to the Middle East, creating difficulties that complicate Nissan's efforts to build a resilient long-term strategy.
