PSA Autos, New Mobility: Honda (7267 JT) – Motorcycle Division Update

Since FY10, Honda (7267 JT) has managed to keep the OPM of its motorcycle division above 10% in most years, proving that it is more profitable to sell two-wheelers than cars (most Japanese auto manufacturers have OPMs in the single-digit range). After consolidated sales hit a record high of 13.2mil units in FY18, demand was hurt first by the Covid-19 pandemic, and then by supply chain disruptions. However, we expect motorcycle sales to continue to increase in the coming years, with OPM remaining well above 13%. Please see report for details.
