Japanese automakers eye reset with U.S. strategy
- Japanese automakers (OTCPK:NSANY, TM, HMC, OTCPK:MZDAY, OTCPK:SZKMY, OTCPK:FUJHY, OTCPK:MMTOF) are reconsidering strategy in the U.S. after taking in the strong preference by American buyers for SUVs and trucks. The shift in sales mix has contributed to the rising incentive spending needed to clear inventory.
- Top execs at Toyota say the company will have to be "very careful" with the North American market going forward.
- "It’s a peak and we don’t see a potential for further growth," said Nissan co-CEO Hiruto Saikawa.
- Toyota reported earlier today a sharp drop in FQ2 operating profit. Last weekend, news broke that the company may make a serious pure EV commitment.
- The shifting ground in the automobile industry has long-term implications for suppliers as well.
