Kentaro Hosoda has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Toyota Motor’s potential for future growth. Despite the slightly disappointing second-quarter results, which were in line with consensus but below high expectations set by earlier US automakers’ results, Toyota’s management has shown resilience in navigating market challenges. The company has maintained its ability to raise prices more easily than its peers, a factor not yet reflected in its guidance, and has set a new goal to lower the breakeven sales volume, which could improve profitability.
Additionally, Toyota’s management has revised its full-year operating profit guidance upwards by ¥200.0 billion, primarily due to favorable foreign exchange assumptions. This revision indicates a conservative yet positive outlook for the company’s financial performance. Furthermore, Toyota’s plans to increase battery electric vehicle sales in the second half of the fiscal year suggest a strategic focus on future growth areas. These elements combined suggest that the market may start valuing the stock more highly in the coming months, supporting the Buy rating.
In another report released yesterday, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a Yen3,468.00 price target.
