Nissan Motor is scheduled to report its first-quarter results on Wednesday. Here's what you need to know:

NET LOSS FORECAST: Nissan is expected to post a net loss of 139.3 billion yen, equivalent to $937.7 million, for the three months ended June 30, according to a poll of analysts by Visible Alpha. That would compare with a net profit of Y28.56 billion in the year-earlier period.

REVENUE FORECAST: First-quarter revenue is estimated to have fallen 4.4% from a year earlier to Y2.868 trillion, according to the Visible Alpha poll.

The stock has dropped 33% year to date as the carmaker suffered from falling sales and mounting losses. The stock fell 13% in 2024.

WHAT TO WATCH:

--For the fiscal year that began in April, Nissan has projected that revenue will decline 0.1% to Y12.5 trillion. Investors will be focusing on any additional annual guidance management may offer.

--Nissan has said it will slash 20,000 jobs over the four years through March 2028 and aim to reduce its global production capacity to 2.5 million units from 3.5 million units, excluding China. Earlier this month, Nissan said it would stop making cars at its Oppama plant in Yokosuka, Japan, at the end of March 2028. Investors will be closely watching any further details of its restructuring efforts.

--Investors will also be paying attention to the management's views on the impact of U.S. tariffs. Japan and the U.S. reached a trade deal last week, setting a tariff rate of 15% on Japanese goods, including autos.
