Nissan Motor reported a net loss of ¥39.7 billion for the six months to September, its second straight first-half loss, as cost cuts and a weaker yen narrowed the deficit from ¥221.9 billion a year earlier, the Asahi Shimbun reported.
Sales rose 8.8% from a year earlier to ¥6.07 trillion. Global vehicle sales fell 4.7% to 1.41 million units.
Sales in China, where the new-car market has cooled, dropped 15.0% from a year earlier. North America and Japan sold more.
Full-year sales forecast cut
Nissan cut its global sales forecast for the year to March 2027 to 2.97–3.00 million units, down 4.8–5.7% from the previous year.
The company left its earnings forecast unchanged and still expects a net profit of ¥20 billion for the year.
