Toyota Motor (TYO:7203) is expected to rake in higher Q4 operating profit driven by strong sales in Japan, the US, and China, Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing analysts.
However, CLSA's Christopher Richter warns lingering tariffs may still impact earnings, though Toyota remains better positioned than peers, given North America represents 30% of its global sales and Japan's auto exports account for just 1% of GDP, said the newswire.
Meanwhile, Nintendo (TYO:7974) faces potential headwinds as US tariffs on Vietnamese imports could threaten the profitability of its upcoming Switch 2 console, possibly forcing price hikes despite strong pre-orders, the report said, citing Morningstar's Kazunori Ito.
