Nissan’s Quarterly Operating Profit Falls to ¥2.1 Billion

Yokohama, 11 November 2026 – Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. reported on 11 November that operating profit fell to JPY2.1 billion in the quarter ended 30 September 2026, from JPY51.5 billion a year earlier. The Japanese carmaker said an emissions-related cost benefit it recorded in the United States last year had not recurred. It kept its full-year operating profit forecast at JPY200 billion but cut its global sales outlook to between 2.97 million and 3 million vehicles.

For Asian investors, the figures show where Nissan’s recovery has gained ground and where it remains vulnerable. Cost reductions helped the carmaker turn an operating profit in the first half. But the latest quarter yielded little operating profit despite higher revenue, and Nissan now expects to sell fewer vehicles globally. China is the main pressure point, even as the company raised its sales expectations for the United States and Japan.
