Mixed half-year results for Japanese automakers

On November 4, 2026, Nissan announced an 11.8 percent decline in global sales for the first half of fiscal 2026-2027, while Suzuki posted a record with a 19.9 percent increase. The same day, Japanese automakers opened the April–September 2026 earnings season, marked by rising raw material costs and a cooling Chinese market. Mazda then posted a 1.2 percent increase in global sales and Mitsubishi a 5.9 percent increase in sales in Japan, while Daihatsu declined in the Japanese market but progressed internationally. Honda is the subject of three points of attention ahead of its half-year results. On November 6, Isuzu published a half-year operating profit of 128.1 billion yen, up 22 percent.
