On May 11, 2026, Nissan Motors officially released its financial results for fiscal 2025, posting a net loss of 533.10 billion yen (approximately $3.7 billion). This is the company's heaviest loss since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Key factors include a sharp decline in sales across major markets, soaring raw material costs, and ongoing global supply chain disruptions. Analysts also suggest that increased competition from Chinese rivals and the slow shift toward electric vehicles have contributed to Nissan's deteriorating financial health.
In fiscal 2024, Nissan had recorded a net profit of 154 billion yen, making this year's result a significant setback. The Japanese automaker said it will implement deep cost-cutting measures, including production restructuring and accelerating investments in electric vehicle lines, to revive its business.
Nissan's gloomy results also reflect the broader picture of the global automotive industry, which is grappling with major challenges from economic downturns and technological shifts.
