Profits at Japan Major Listed Firms Seen Down in April-June
News from Japan Economy Aug 8, 2025 22:23 (JST) Tokyo, Aug. 8 (Jiji Press)--Combined profits at major Japanese listed companies are seen to have dropped year on year in April-June, the first decrease in three quarters, according to data collected by SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. The automobile industry has been hit hard by the high tariff policy of the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. Of the 1,146 firms making up the TOPIX index on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and closing their books in March, 823, or 71.8 pct, have announced their earnings for April-June by Thursday. All of their combined net and other profits posted declines from a year before. Their combined net profits were down 10.2 pct at 11,277.3 billion yen. Net profits at automakers shrank 40 pct, pushing down the overall profits at the listed companies. The drop in the sector reflected the impact of the U.S. tariffs and the yen's appreciation.

Toyota Cuts Full-Year Profit Forecasts on Trump Tariffs
Tokyo, Aug. 7 (Jiji Press)--Toyota Motor Corp. on Thursday lowered its consolidated profit forecasts for fiscal 2025, reflecting high tariffs imposed by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. For the year to next March, the leading Japanese automaker projects a net profit of 2.66 trillion yen, down from the previously forecast 3.1 trillion yen. Its annual net profit is now expected to shrink for the second straight year. Toyota cut its operating profit forecast to 3.2 trillion yen from 3.8 trillion yen as Trump's tariffs are estimated to have a negative impact of 1.4 trillion yen, although the company expects to improve the operating balance by 899.5 billion yen through higher automobile sales and cost reductions. The yen's rise and higher material prices are also seen weighing on the group's earnings. Meanwhile, Toyota kept its consolidated operating revenue estimate unchanged at 48.5 trillion yen, with the group's global vehicle sales projection maintained at 11.2 million units, including sales at subsidiaries Daihatsu Motor Co. and Hino Motors Ltd., on the back of robust sales in the North American market. "Sales in North America continue to have strong momentum," Hiroyuki Ueda, chief officer of Toyota's External & Public Affairs Group, said while noting that there was a rush in demand ahead of the introduction of the U.S. tariffs.
