PSA Strategy: Japan Stock Market Quarterly 2024 Q4

PSA Autos / New Mobility: Renault Cancels Ampere IPO – Consequences fo...
Renault’s decision to cancel the IPO of its EV unit Ampere might be the right move considering the poor market conditions, but it is also an indication that Ampere’s operational and financial targets could be too ambitious. This raises questions about Nissan’s commitment to invest in Ampere. While Nissan states that its position towards Ampere has not changed, analyst Julie Boote questions whether this is true, or, indeed, wise.

Climate change risk already affects the major automotive issuers we rate; essentially all automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have made substantial investments as they shift to electric vehicle (EV) production and away from internal combustion engine vehicles. In the near term, our outlook for the sector is neutral, with company credit profiles supported by reasonable profitability, robust liquidity positions, and conservative financial postures.

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.
