Overview
- Nissan projected a ¥650 billion net loss for the fiscal year ending March 2026, following a ¥670.8 billion deficit the prior year.
- The company lifted its sales outlook to ¥11.9 trillion and narrowed its operating loss forecast to ¥60 billion, while reporting April–December results that swung to a ¥250.2 billion net loss and a ¥10.1 billion operating loss on 6.2% lower revenue.
- Management is consolidating global capacity to 10 plants by FY2027, closing seven sites including Oppama and cutting about 20,000 jobs, with potential additional measures factored into current charges.
- Nissan will book a ¥73.9 billion special gain from selling its Yokohama headquarters, which it says will not fully offset restructuring expenses.
- The company is exploring targeted cooperation with Honda and Mitsubishi, including possible joint vehicle production in the U.S. and powertrain development with Honda, with no resumption of full integration talks as U.S. tariffs and EV incentive changes pressure the market.
