While Nissan sold 3.3 million vehicles last fiscal year, total calendar 2024 Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance sales volume of 6.5 million vehicles makes the group the fourth-largest vehicle seller in the world, behind Toyota at 10.8 million, Volkswagen at 9.0 million, and Hyundai/Kia with 7.2 million vehicles sold. Nissan's financial services subsidiary provides consumers with auto loans and leases but also finances Nissan's sales to its dealerships (known as floor-plan financing). Under a new alliance agreement, Nissan and Renault will have cross-shareholding capped at 15% voting rights for each company. Renault holds the remaining stake in Nissan through a French trust where the voting rights of such shares are "neutralized" for "most decisions" but retain the economic benefit.

Consumer Tech News (July 7–July 11): Nvidia Hits $4 Trillion, Japan Tariffs Rattle Markets, Hopes Rise For Trump–Xi Summit

Nissan Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) has reportedly opened negotiations with Honda Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) to produce vehicles for its rival at a U.S. factory. Both companies seek ways to blunt the impact of upcoming U.S. tariffs on Japanese-made autos.
According to <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Nissan-mulls-making-trucks-for-Honda-at-underused-US-plant" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nikkei Asia</a>, the companies are exploring a supply arrangement that could see Nissan manufacture large pickup trucks for Honda at its Canton, Mississippi, plant. 
The vehicles would bear Honda nameplates and be sold under the Honda brand in the U.S. market. This would allow Honda to expand its presence in the full-size pickup segment, which currently makes up about 20% of new car sales in the U.S.

Nissan&#8217;s Canton plant is currently underused, operating at just 57% capacity in 2024. Producing vehicles for Honda could help increase utilization and improve Nissan&#8217;s financial position. The move would accelerate Honda&#8217;s local production without requiring significant investment in development.
Nikkie Asia mentioned that the plan comes as U.S. tariffs set to take effect August 1 are expected to reduce Honda&#8217;s operating profit by $4.42 billion and Nissan&#8217;s by $3.06 billion.
Nikkei Asia reports that the companies are ruling out a merger for now but are holding regular meetings to pursue mutually beneficial cooperation.
Separately, Nissan <a href="https://global.nissannews.com/en/releases/nissan-successfully-priced-its-bonds">raised</a> approximately 860 billion Japanese yen (~$5.86 billion) through oversubscribed U.S., euro, and yen bond offerings. The proceeds will support debt refinancing, general operations, and future investments in electrification and software-defined vehicles as part of its Re:Nissan recovery plan.
Price Action: HMC shares are trading lower by 0.33% to $30.65 premarket at last check Friday.

Tariff Troubles Drive Nissan, Honda To U.S. Manufacturing Talks: Report

<a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Nissan-mulls-making-trucks-for-Honda-at-underused-US-plant" title="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Nissan-mulls-making-trucks-for-Honda-at-underused-US-plant">https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Nissan-mulls-making-trucks-for-Honda-at-underused-US-plant</a>

Nikkei Reported Nissan Considers Making Trucks For Honda At Underused US Plant

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has issued a recall for over 29,501 F-150 Lightning Pickup Trucks over a suspension failure risk that could result in loss of the steering controls.
What Happened: The issue stems from a potential defect in the front control arm of the pickup truck's suspension, which could increase the risk of a crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a report released on May 27.
"The front upper control arm ball joint nut may not have been tightened properly, allowing the front upper control arm to detach from the knuckle assembly," the NHTSA report said.
The affected products include F150 Lightning Pickups sold from 2024-2025, the report said. "Dealers will inspect the upper control arm ball joint nut, and replace the nut and/or knuckle assembly, as necessary, free of charge," NHTSA reiterated in its report.
Why It Matters: The recall comes in as the Detroit-based automaker issued a separate recall that affected almost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45643704/ford-recalls-11-million-vehicles-for-camera-software-issue-report">1.1 million vehicles</a> due to an issue with the rear camera. The issue affected models include Bronco, F-150, Ford Escape, the Mustang Mach-E and multiple Lincoln models, among others.
Elsewhere, Bill Ford, the automaker's executive chair, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45732185/whats-going-on-with-ford-stock-monday-2">shared concerns</a> about the GOP's tax reform proposal, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45277309/house-gop-representatives-want-to-axe-federal-ev-credit-amid-trumps-tax-cuts-report">includes axing the $7500 EV credit</a>, could "imperil" the company's battery production in Michigan.
Ford has also reportedly opened doors for the company's flagship <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45562915/ford-will-let-nissan-use-part-of-kentucky-battery-factory-could-this-be-a-scaling-back-on-ev-ambitions">EV battery production plant </a>in Kentucky for Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., letting the Japanese automaker use half of the plant.

Ford Recalls Over 29,500 F-150 Lightning Pickup Trucks Over Suspension Defect

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) is recalling over 1 million U.S. vehicles due to a software issue that may prevent rearview camera images from displaying properly, raising crash risks, according to federal regulators.
Reuters reported that the recall affects 1,075,299 vehicles across various models from 2021 to 2025, including the Bronco, F-150, Edge, Escape, Corsair, Mustang Mach-E, and several F-Series, Transit, and Lincoln models.
The <a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/?nhtsaId=25V315000">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)</a> said the defect stems from a software error that can cause the camera display to freeze, delay, or fail.

Dealers will update the dashboard&#8217;s accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software via an over-the-air fix at no cost. Ford will begin notifying owners by mail on June 16, with a follow-up notice expected once the fix is available in Q3 2025.
Separately, Ford <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45562915/ford-will-let-nissan-use-part-of-kentucky-battery-factory-could-this-be-a-scaling-back-on-ev-ambitions" rel="noreferrer noopener">agreed</a> to let Nissan (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) use part of its underutilized battery plant in Kentucky, co-owned with SK On. This comes amid mounting pressure: Ford pulled its 2025 earnings guidance, warned of $5.5 billion in expected EV and software losses, and raised prices on Mexico-built EVs like the Mustang Mach-E and Bronco Sport.
In early May, Ford <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45406568/fords-brake-line-issue-spurs-recall-of-over-270k-vehicles-as-safety-concerns-mount" rel="noreferrer noopener">recalled</a> nearly 274,000 SUVs, 223,315 Expeditions and 50,474 Navigators, due to a brake line defect that increased crash risk. The issue, traced to Ford&#8217;s Kentucky Truck Plant, involved brake lines potentially contacting engine components. As of April, no injuries were reported. Ford notified owners and instructed them to bring vehicles for inspection and repair.
Price Action: F shares are trading lower by 0.09% to $10.30 premarket at last check Wednesday.

Ford Recalls 1.1 Million Vehicles For Camera Software Issue: Report

General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) is steadily gaining on Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) lead in the U.S. domestic EV market, despite the Trump administration's automotive tariffs.
What Happened: GM accounted for over 14.4% of all new EVs sold in the U.S. in April 2025, data released by Cox Automotive <a href="https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/ev-market-monitor-april-2025/">on</a> Wednesday shows. The Detroit-based automaker is currently the second-largest EV manufacturer by units sold through Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac after it surpassed Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>).
Amid GM's sales growth, Elon Musk's Tesla still claimed the top spot in April with sales climbing 3.7%, driven by the Model Y, which sold 25,321 units, the report suggested. However, its market share remained below 50%.
Why It Matters: The data comes in as EV sales have experienced a decline in the U.S. The automaker has reportedly pushed back against<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45488137/general-motors-wants-to-overturn-californias-aggressive-ev-mandate-as-demand-slows-in-the-us-report"> California's EV policy</a>, which aims to phase out ICE vehicles by 2035.
"Emissions standards that are not aligned with market realities pose a serious threat to our business by undermining consumer choice and vehicle affordability," GM said in an email sent out to employees.
The automaker also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/05/45133096/this-is-how-much-it-will-cost-general-motors-from-trumps-tariff-policy">pulled its earnings guidance </a>for 2025, citing uncertainties posed by U.S. President Donald Trump's automotive tariffs. Elsewhere in the EV sector, GM's fellow Detroit-based automaker, Ford, has reportedly decided to split its flagship Kentucky battery manufacturing facility with Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (OTCPK: NSANY).
Price Action: GM currently trades for $49.66 in after-hours trading, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

GM EV Sales Surge In The US Despite Donald Trump's Auto Tariffs

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) will reportedly let Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) use part of its flagship Kentucky battery manufacturing plant.
What Happened: The Detroit-based automaker will split the manufacturing plant, which is a joint venture between Ford and South Korean battery manufacturer SK On, according to the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/ev-ford-nissan-battery-plant-lease-ef47542c">on</a> Tuesday.
The facility, which was to be used by Ford and its subsidiary Lincoln, has two manufacturing units, but one of them isn't being utilized at all, while the other isn't running at full capacity, the report suggests.
Ford had previously projected a loss of over $5.5 billion for its EV models and software operations in 2025 as tariffs continue to hinder the company's supply chain.
Ford and Nissan did not immediately respond to<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga's</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Ford pulled <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208083/ford-stock-hits-the-brakes-after-q1-earnings-suspends-guidance-due-to-tariff-related-uncertainty">its earnings guidance</a> for 2025, citing uncertainty in the auto industry due to U.S. President Donald Trump's automotive tariffs.
The company has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45277938/ford-hikes-prices-of-select-mexico-produced-vehicles-amid-auto-tariff-uncertainty-report">hiked prices </a>of select Mexico-produced EVs, including the Mustang Mach-E, Bronco Sport and Maverick Pickup truck. The hike would apply to models arriving in dealerships sometime in June. It's worth noting that Ford manufactures over 80% of its line-up in the U.S.
Company CEO Jim Farley had earlier said that the Trump administration's tariffs could cost the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45217767/ford-ceo-jim-farley-says-trumps-tariffs-could-cost-ford-1-5-billion-pulls-its-earnings-guidance">over $1.5 billion</a>. "We&#8217;ve estimated the gross impact of tariffs for full year total company EBIT of $2.5 billion and a net impact of $1.5 billion," he said.
Price action: F currently trades for $10.48 on the NYSE, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Ford Reportedly Opens Doors To Nissan At Flagship Battery Facility After EV Unit Falls Short Of Targets

Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANF#OTC">NSANF</a>) announced major steps to reconfigure its global operations after a challenging financial year. The company said on Tuesday that it will slash thousands of jobs and close almost half of its production plants across the globe, as part of a multi-year restructuring plan targeted towards stabilizing its bottom line.
What Happened: The company shared plans to terminate nearly 15% of its workforce, which entails approximately 20,000 employees, by fiscal year 2027. This includes the 9,000 job cuts announced earlier. In addition, Nissan will also shrink its global manufacturing footprint, reducing the number of factories from 17 to 10 over two years.
Last week, reports emerged that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45316137/nissan-scraps-11-billion-ev-battery-plant-eyes-cost-cuts-to-survive-report">company is canceling its plans</a> to establish a $1.1 billion electric vehicle battery factory in Kitakyushu, Japan.

Why It Matters: Nissan faced a $4.5 billion loss in 2024, citing rising variable costs and ongoing global turmoil. "In the face of challenging FY24 performance and rising variable costs, compounded by an uncertain environment, we must prioritize self-improvement with greater urgency and speed," said CEO Ivan Espinosa. The company also noted it would prioritize U.S.-made products and move operations to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45316137/nissan-scraps-11-billion-ev-battery-plant-eyes-cost-cuts-to-survive-report">sidestep tariff-related pressures</a>.
"We are taking a prudent approach to reassess our targets and actively seek every possible opportunity to implement and ensure a robust recovery," Espinosa added.
Nissan was not the only major company to announce layoffs on Tuesday. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) shared on the same day that it will cut <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45398101/microsoft-to-cut-6000-jobs-in-global-restructuring-joins-meta-and-amazon-in-trimming-workforce-amid-ai-driven-shift">6,000 jobs worldwide</a>, amounting to about 3% of its total workforce.
Price Action: Nissan Motor stock closed at 354 JPY ($2.42) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Wednesday, down 0.70% for the day. Year to date, the stock has declined 25.44%.

Nissan To Cut 20,000 Jobs, Shut 7 Plants Globally In Major Restructuring After $4.5 Billion Annual Loss

Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) reportedly announced Friday that it is scrapping plans to build a $1.1 billion electric vehicle battery plant in Kitakyushu, Japan.
Nissan has canceled plans to build an EV battery plant in Kitakyushu months after signing local agreements. The company cited a review of investments due to weak performance, reported <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Nissan-abandons-plan-for-EV-battery-plant-in-southern-Japan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nikkie Asia</a>.
Initially unveiled in January, the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) facility was expected to create around 500 jobs with a 153.3 billion yen investment.

Facing sluggish vehicle sales in the U.S. and China, Nissan is scaling back growth plans to stabilize its business. Executive Officer Teiji Hirata said, &#8220;We apologize for this situation arising over such a short period of time. This is the result of a careful review in light of the business environment.&#8221;
Nissan announced that it expects a record net loss of 700–750 billion Japanese Yen ($4.9 billion to $5.3 billion) for fiscal 2025, mainly due to over 500 billion Japanese Yen in asset write-downs and 60 billion Japanese Yen in restructuring costs. In response, it is cutting jobs, closing plants, and reducing output, while CEO Ivan Espinosa pointed to strong cash reserves of 1.5 trillion Yen to support recovery efforts.
In February, Honda Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) signaled it could resume $58 billion <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43771894/honda-open-to-reviving-nissan-merger-talks-if-ceo-uchida-steps-down-creating-fourth-largest-glob" rel="noreferrer noopener">merger</a> talks with Nissan if CEO Makoto Uchida steps down, after prior talks collapsed over ownership terms.

Foxconn Eyes Nissan, Mitsubishi In Japan EV Push To Counter China's Growing Auto Threat

Auto stocks hit a speed bump after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">President Donald Trump</a> brushed off concerns over higher car prices following his announcement of new 25% tariffs on foreign imports.
Shares of Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), Honda Motor Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>), Nissan Motor Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#NYSE">NSANY</a>), Volkswagen AG (OTCPK: VWAGY) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) slid on investor concerns over the impact on global supply chains and consumer demand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Tariff Play</h2>
Trump's weekend interview with NBC News only added fuel to the fire, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/auto-stocks-fall-after-trump-says-he-couldnt-care-less-about-higher-prices-21cd7c16">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal. When asked if foreign automakers hiking prices would hurt U.S. consumers, he dismissed the concern outright. "I couldn't care less."
The logic? If foreign cars get more expensive, Americans will buy domestic. That stance sent ripples through the markets, with Asian and European automakers posting sharp declines.
In Japan, Toyota dropped 3.1%, Honda fell 3.1%, and Nissan tumbled 4%. South Korea's Hyundai slipped 3.8%; in Europe, Stellantis lost 2.8%, Volkswagen declined 3.1%, and Mercedes-Benz slid 2.6%. Even Ferrari NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>) felt the heat, dropping 1.7% despite plans to hike prices by up to 10% to offset tariffs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is This A Buying Opportunity?</h2>
Auto stocks have been in reverse all year, and technical indicators don't offer much encouragement. Toyota&#8217;s stock is flashing strong bearish signals, trading below its 5-, 20-, 50- and 200-day moving averages. The same goes for Honda and Stellantis stocks, both caught in a downtrend and facing selling pressure.
Even Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock, often seen as insulated from traditional automaker woes, is down over 30% YTD. But unlike its global peers, Tesla has found some support, sitting slightly above its eight and 20-day moving averages—a rare bullish signal amid the carnage.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead</h2>
With tariffs kicking in on April 2, the next few weeks could be bumpy for auto stocks. If global carmakers pass the costs to consumers, demand could take a hit, further pressuring share prices.
However, investors with a long-term view might find bargains in the wreckage, particularly among companies able to navigate price adjustments without losing market share.
For now, auto stocks remain in the danger zone. But contrarians might find value under the hood if prices fall much further.

Here&#8217;s what analysts have predicted so far:
<ul>
<li>According to JPMorgan's Akira Kishimoto, Japanese automakers could face a potential hit of 4.46 trillion yen (about $29.44 billion), with Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>), Mazda Motor Corp.

Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) remains JPMorgan's top pick, given its resilience and strong fundamentals, while Suzuki Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SZKMY#OTC">SZKMY</a>) and Isuzu Motors (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISUZY#OTC">ISUZY</a>) are also favored among mid-tier manufacturers.

<li>RBC Capital Markets&#8217; Tom Narayan warns that German automakers like Mercedes-Benz Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBGYY#OTC">MBGYY</a>) and BMW Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWKY#OTC">BMWKY</a>) are at high risk, though potential retaliatory tariffs from Europe could deter further escalation. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) may benefit due to its U.S.-based production, while Ferrari NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>) is expected to pass costs onto its high-end buyers. </li>
<li>JPMorgan autos analyst Ryan Brinkman has slashed price targets for major U.S. automakers, cutting General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) by 17% to $53 from $64, Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) by 15% to $11 from $13, and Ferrari by 12% to $460 from $525, citing heightened earnings risk. </li>
</ul>
With uncertainty around auto demand and the potential for sales fluctuations, investors remain cautious as the industry assesses the economic impact of these sweeping tariffs.

Japanese Automakers Face $29 Billion Tariff Hit, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru Most At Risk, Says Analyst

As of March 19, 2025, two stocks in the consumer discretionary sector could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term. An asset is typically considered overbought when the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi"> RSI is above 70</a>, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/"> Benzinga Pro</a>. 
Here's the latest list of major overbought players in this sector.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Honda Motor Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>)</h3>
<ul>

Top 2 Consumer Stocks That May Implode In Q1

Honda Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) is willing to resume merger negotiations with Nissan Motor Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) if CEO Makoto Uchida steps down. 
What Happened: The potential combination would create the world&#8217;s fourth-largest automaker, though previous talks collapsed over Honda&#8217;s demand for full ownership rather than an equal partnership, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/bddf8c35-5594-49f1-9855-674ba449514b">reported</a> Financial Time, citing sources.
Uchida, who faces pressure to depart after the failed $58 billion deal, has expressed willingness to leave before his planned 2026 exit if asked, though he prefers to stay until Nissan&#8217;s recovery. 
The company faces mounting challenges, having burned through ¥506 billion ($6.6 billion) in the first nine months of its fiscal year despite holding ¥1.2 trillion ($15.65 billion) in net cash.

Honda Open To Reviving Nissan Merger Talks If CEO Uchida Steps Down, Creating Fourth-Largest Global Automaker

Honda Motor Company, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday. The company reported results for nine months and <a href="https://global.honda/en/newsroom/news/2025/c250213aeng.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">disclosed </a>the termination of business integration talks with Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>).
The company disclosed the cancellation of the previously inked memorandum of understanding (MOU) for business <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43517930/nissan-ceo-seeks-to-end-honda-merger-talks-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">integration with Nissan Motor.</a>
Notably, last December, both companies confirmed their merger plans at a joint press conference and said they aim for a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42653466/honda-nissan-plan-to-merge-in-the-face-of-chinese-ev-competition" rel="noreferrer noopener">completion date of August 2026</a>.
The companies were considering including&nbsp;Mitsubishi Motors in the new consolidated company. If successful, the merger would have created the world&#8217;s third-largest automobile group based on global sales volume.&nbsp;
Since signing the MOU, both companies&#8217; management teams, including their CEOs, have evaluated the market environment, integration objectives, and post-merger strategies.
They also conducted consultations with key stakeholders before making the decision to discontinue the discussions.
During discussions, Honda proposed shifting from the initially outlined joint holding company—where it would appoint the majority of directors and the CEO—to a structure in which Honda would become the parent company and Nissan the subsidiary through a share exchange.
However, both companies determined that, given the need for rapid decision-making and execution in an increasingly volatile market driven by electrification, it was best to terminate the MOU.
Moving forward, Nissan and Honda plan to collaborate through a strategic partnership focused on intelligence and electrified vehicles.
With the termination of the deal, the private equity firm KKR &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>) is reportedly planning to invest in&nbsp;Nissan, as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-13/kkr-is-said-to-consider-nissan-investment-after-honda-talks-end?srnd=homepage-asia&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">per </a>Bloomberg.
Also, Foxconn Technology Group confirmed Wednesday it would consider acquiring Renault&#8217;s stake in&nbsp;Nissan as part of a broader strategy to expand its&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43685566/apple-supplier-foxconn-considers-buying-nissan-shares-but-only-if-an-ev-deal-is-in-place" rel="noreferrer noopener">electric vehicle manufacturing business</a>.
HMC Results: In a separate release, Honda reported nine-month EPS of JPY169.69 (Japanese yen) ($1.1142), lower than JPY176.78 in the comparable period, while sales of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43689697"> JPY16.3 trillion rose 8.9% year over year.</a>
The company maintained its guidance for an operating profit of JPY1.420 trillion and a profit attributable to owners of the parent company of JPY950 billion.
Meanwhile, Honda raised the guidance for FY25 sales by JPY600 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">billion to JPY21.600 trillion</a>.
Price Action: HMC shares are up 2.56% at $28.29 at the last check Thursday.

Earlier Nissan, Honda Announced Termination Of MOU For Consideration Of Business Integration

Foxconn Technology Group, also known as Hon Hai Precision (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>)  Apple Inc.&#8216;s primary iPhone manufacturer, confirmed Wednesday it would consider acquiring Renault&#8217;s stake in Nissan Motor Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) as part of a broader strategy to expand its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43566305/deal-dispatch-pharmchem-forgoes-banker-to-run-sale-tgi-fridays-sells-19-restaurants-for-3-1-million">electric vehicle manufacturing business</a>.
What Happened: Chairman Young Liu revealed the company has held discussions about acquiring Nissan shares, though emphasized that any potential stake purchase would be contingent on securing EV manufacturing partnerships with either Nissan or Renault, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f6a9cfb0-edba-4336-a2c1-e67238c5ccea">reported</a> the Financial Times. 
&#8220;If [taking a stake] is necessary for co-operation, we will consider it, but buying shares is not our main goal,&#8221; Liu said.
The Taiwanese contract manufacturer is targeting an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43517930/nissan-ceo-seeks-to-end-honda-merger-talks-report">announcement of a cooperation deal</a> within two months, with Renault, Nissan, and Honda Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) among potential partners. The news sent Nissan shares down 6.3% in Tokyo trading.

Why It Matters: This development comes as Renault looks to divest half of its 36% stake in Nissan, currently held in a French trust, following their alliance restructuring in 2023.
Former Nissan executive and current Foxconn EV division chief strategy officer Jun Seki reportedly met with Renault CEO Luca De Meo in December to discuss the potential share acquisition.
The talks emerge amid broader industry shifts, with Nissan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43517930/nissan-ceo-seeks-to-end-honda-merger-talks-report">recently ending merger discussions</a> with Honda that would have created the world&#8217;s fourth-largest automotive group.
Nissan faces mounting pressure from Chinese competition and has announced plans to cut 9,000 jobs and reduce production capacity by 20% as part of its turnaround strategy.
For Foxconn, securing a deal with either Renault or Nissan would mark its first partnership with a traditional automaker outside Taiwan, potentially accelerating its expansion into EV contract manufacturing beyond its current partnerships with startups.
