Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNDAF#OTC">HNDAF</a>) shares soared nearly 13.55% in Tokyo trading on Tuesday, marking their biggest one-day gain since 2008, after the Japanese automaker announced a massive share buyback plan and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42642773/honda-nissan-start-merger-talks">confirmed merger discussions</a> with Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>).
While Honda shares jumped on the Tokyo exchange to 1,452 Japanese yen, Nissan stock declined marginally by 0.22% to 449 Japanese yen in Tuesday trading. U.S.-listed Honda Motor Co. Ltd.

12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Monday's Pre-Market Session

Honda Motor Company, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) confirmed their merger plans at a joint press conference on Monday and said they aim for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42642773/honda-nissan-start-merger-talks">completion date of August 2026</a>. 
If successful, the merger would create the world's third-largest automobile group based on global sales volume. 
What To Know: The automakers plan to establish a new holding company, with Honda to appoint most of the board members and president of the new company. 
"We have confirmed again that our business integration will bring about synergy in all areas and that the impact of this will be greater than expected," Honda President Toshihiro Mibe said, per the <a href="https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/business/companies/20241223-229370/">Japan News</a>.  "We aim to set a direction by the end of January," he added.

The companies are considering including Mitsubishi Motors (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMTOF#OTC">MMTOF</a>) in the new consolidated company. Nissan is Mitsubishi's largest shareholder with a 24% stake in the company, and its president was present at Monday's joint press conference. 
Why It Matters: Tokyo-based Honda could prove to be a lifeline for Nissan, which has struggled with declining vehicle sales in the U.S. and globally. 
The automakers have already developed a partnership developing next-gen electric vehicle platforms. 
The merger would also allow both companies to pool resources and reduce development costs in the face of increasing competition from Chinese automakers, including BYD, NIO, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) and Li Auto, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>). 
&#8220;Creation of new mobility value by bringing together the resources including knowledge, talents, and technologies that Honda and Nissan have been developing over the long years is essential to overcome challenging environmental shifts that the auto industry is facing," Honda Director and Representative Executive Officer Toshihiro Mibe said.&nbsp;
Nissan, based in Yokohama, Japan, has seen it sales in China drop, with 2023 sales reduced to nearly half of its 2019 sales volumes which counted for 1 in 3 of Nissan&#8217;s global sales at the time. 
"These Nissan-Honda merger discussions, coupled with the recent challenges at Stellantis and production cutbacks in Europe, all point to a single, stark reality: a new force has emerged in the automotive sector, and legacy automakers need to be acutely aware of the competitive threat," said Moody's Michael Brisson said referring to the Chinese <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nissan-honda-merger-talks-not-a-shocker-given-the-stark-reality-of-the-auto-business-172947911.html">automakers</a>, per Yahoo Finance.&nbsp;

Honda, Nissan Confirm Merger Plans To Offset Chinese EV Competition: How Mitsubishi Factors In

Shares of General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) are little changed Monday despite news that rivals Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42642773/honda-nissan-start-merger-talks">are discussing a merger</a>. 
This would create the world's third-largest automaker.
It is not clear how this would affect the long-term prospects of GM. But in the short term, the recent downtrend may be over. The stage may be set for a rally. This is why we have made it our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
Some analysts believe that markets are efficient and stocks follow a ‘random walk'. They are wrong. If the markets were random, all price levels would have equal importance. Clearly, that's not the case in the markets.
As you can see on the chart below, the $50.00 level has been important for GM since August. It was well-defined resistance and now it has converted into a support level.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="562" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23105205/15-1-1024x562.png" alt="" class="wp-image-704471" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23105205/15-1-1024x562.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23105205/15-1-300x165.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23105205/15-1-768x421.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23105205/15-1.png 1489w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
From a traditional fundamental analysis point of view, there is no reason why a stock should turn when it reaches a round level like GM did. But from a technical analysis perspective, the reason why is clear. It is because of investor and trader psychology.

People like to place orders at nice round levels, and that is what happened here.
In addition, there is support at the $50.00 level because it had been resistance. In the financial markets support forming at levels that were previously resistance is a common occurrence. It also is because of investor and trader psychology.
It is due to ‘seller's remorse'.
When the $50.00 resistance was broken and the price moved higher, a number of the people who sold shares at the resistance decided that the decision to sell was a mistake. Some vowed to buy their shares back if they can do so at the same price they were sold at.
As a result, when the stock fell back to $50.00, they placed buy orders. The large concentration of these orders formed support.
Some of these buyers may become concerned others will be willing to pay higher prices and they know this is who the sellers will go to. So, they may increase the prices they are willing to pay. Others will see this and may do the same.
It could result in a bidding war or snowball effect that forces GM into a new uptrend.

Mitsubishi Motors is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/12/42545185/nissan-soar-over-20-on-merger-talks-with-honda-eyeing-8-million-annual-vehicle-sales">considering joining the merger</a>, the companies said, while adding that the smaller company is aiming to conclude whether it will participate by the end of January.
Nissan is a shareholder in Mitsubishi Motors.

In addition, the collaboration aims to accelerate initiatives for carbon neutrality and a zero-traffic-accident society.

Nissan Stock Soar Over 20% On Merger Talks With Honda, Mitsubishi Spikes

Japanese automakers Nissan Motor Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) and Honda Motor Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) are reportedly negotiating a merger, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Honda-and-Nissan-to-begin-merger-talks-amid-EV-competition">first revealed by the Nikkei newspaper Tuesday</a>, aiming to consolidate under a holding company and include Mitsubishi Motors.
What To Know: Per Nikkei, the combined Nissan-Honda-Mitsubishi group could account for over eight million annual vehicle sales, positioning it among the largest automakers but trailing Toyota Motor's <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/267274/worldwide-vehicle-sales-of-toyota-since-2007/">11.2 million</a> and Volkswagen's <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/272049/worldwide-vehicle-sales-of-volkswagen-since-2006/">9.2 million</a>.
Per a report by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/17/japans-honda-and-nissan-to-reportedly-begin-merger-talks.html">CNBC</a>, Nissan and Honda earlier declined to confirm the report, stating they are exploring collaborative opportunities without final decisions. Earlier this year, the firms partnered on shared components and software, potentially paving the way for integration.
The merger talks come as Nissan grapples with ongoing challenges, including weak profitability and recovering from a tumultuous period marked by the fallout from former Chairman Carlos Ghosn's ouster in 2018. 
The company has also been under pressure to expand its electric vehicle offerings to compete with Tesla and Chinese rivals.
The response was positive, with Honda's U.S.-traded shares rising 0.96% to $25.26 and Nissan's over-the-counter shares jumping 11.46% to $5.11 at market close on Tuesday.
