Japanese Automaker Nissan Reduces Losses and Expects to Return to Profit

The automaker said cost cuts and new model launches should help it return to profit with a 20 billion yen gain in fiscal 2027.

  • On Wednesday, Nissan Motor Corp. reported a 533 billion yen loss for the fiscal year ended in March, smaller than the 670.9 billion yen loss the previous year despite U.S. tariffs and intensifying competition.
  • Bleeding red ink, Nissan embarked in late 2024 on a painful restructuring effort to close factories and cut 20,000 jobs by 2028, addressing declining product competitiveness and damage to brand power.
  • Annual sales fell 5% to 12 trillion yen , while quarterly losses reached 282.9 billion yen in the January-March period. CEO Ivan Espinosa reported "clear signs" of a turnaround in financial performance.
  • For the fiscal year ending in March 2027, Nissan projects a return to profitability with a net profit of 20 million yen and 13 trillion yen in revenue, up from 12 trillion yen.
  • The automaker remains squeezed by United States tariffs, Middle East instability, and fierce competition from Chinese rivals. Merger talks with Japanese rival Honda Motor collapsed when the company proposed making Nissan a subsidiary.
