PSA Autos / New Mobility: Toyota’s Possible Path to Unwinding Its Cros...

Toyota Motor (7203 JT) has traditionally been keen on holding on to its portfolio of strategic and non-strategic shareholdings, which it has built up over many years and regards as being mutually beneficial to all parties involved in terms of stability, protection from take-over and business interests. Based on analyst Julie Boote’s discussion with the company, this report provides an update on how Toyota’s thinking has evolved regarding the groups’ cross-shareholdings.

PSA Autos / New Mobility: Toyota (7203 JT) FY24 Q2: Profits Set to De...

Toyota Motor (7203 JT) is likely to report a profit decline in FY24 Q2, as high expenses are set to more than offset moderate positive contributions from vol/mix/price and the currency. However, since this OP decline is anticipated (as per consensus numbers), the key focus should be on Toyota’s FY24 guidance: we view the automaker’s profit forecasts as conservative, leaving room for an upgrade.

PSA Autos / New Mobility: The Fraught Path to Electrification

Given that the EV market is not a free market, led by demand and supply, but a distorted market, moved by political intervention in the form of subsidies (or lack of), making EV sales forecasts is very challenging indeed. This is a headache for analysts, but even more so for auto companies with a ten-year planning horizon. In this report, we outline the sales situation for different regions, as well as providing an outlook based on currently available information.

PSA Strategy: Japan Stock Market Quarterly 2024 Q4

When the BoJ raised rates in March, it had been 17 years since it had last done so, though the world was very different then. While the July rate hike was unlikely to move the economic needle, the question now is what else might follow the subsequent financial market maelstrom. Pelham Smithers discusses the outlook for Japan’s macro environment, what new fiscal policies the new PM might introduce, how the BoJ might react and the all-important trend in corporate earnings. This then leads us to...

PSA Market Strategy: How Japan Transformed from a Bear Market to a Bul...

In our 2010 Japan Perspective, written close to the nadir of the bear market, we discussed what was wrong with Japan, but also what it was starting to do right. Fourteen years on, the Nikkei 225 - though not yet Topix - has hit a new all-time high. This report looks at how Japan built on those things that were going right, while also starting to address what else needed to be done, and looks at whether more is needed to be done if the market rally is to continue from here.
