Toyota’s Profits Decline for Second Straight Quarter Amid U.S. Tariff Impact
Toyota has revised its full-year operating profit forecast upward to 3.4 trillion yen, despite a 1.45 trillion yen hit from U.S. tariffs. The September quarter’s operating profit, however, fell short of analyst estimates due to these tariffs, with a nearly 28% year-over-year decline in quarterly profit despite increased revenue. Toyota is exploring exporting U.S.-made vehicles to Japan in response to trade agreements. Analysts expect continued pressure on profitability, with potential recovery contingent on trade stability and currency fluctuations amidst growing EV competition.
