'Toyota Executive Lashes Out At U.S. Regulations Promoting EV Sales' - Bloomberg News

On Wednesday, Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tm#NYSE">TM</a>) issued its fiscal second quarter results, posting a weaker-than-expected profit due to production halts and macroeconomic events.&nbsp;&nbsp;Its smaller domestic rival, Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hmc#NYSE">HMC</a>) reported a surprising decrease in operating profit that was dragged down by a significant sales drop in China.
Honda&rsquo;s disappointing Q2 results reflect significant hit from unfavorable market conditions in China.
Honda reported that fiscal second quarter&nbsp;net profit contracted by 20%&nbsp;494.68 billion yen, equivalent to $3.26 billion with operating profit dropping 15% to 257.9 billion yen.
For the fiscal year that will March 2025, Honda now expects an even bigger net profit drop, increasing its prior guidance of a 9.7% fall to a 14% drop. While it previously expected to sell 3.9 million units&nbsp;during the fiscal year, it now lowered its guidance to 3.8 million&nbsp;as&nbsp;first-half group car sales dropped 8% to 1.78 million.&nbsp;During the six months that ended on September 30th, revenue still&nbsp;grew 12% so despite falling short of estimates, Honda remains optimistic.&nbsp;
<h3>Toyota&rsquo;s Fiscal Q2 Highlights</h3>
For the quarter that ended on September 30th, Toyota reported its operating income tumbled&nbsp;20% to 1.16 trillion yen which amounts to $7.81 billion, coming short of Bloomberg&rsquo;s estimate of 1.25 trillion yen. This was Toyota&rsquo;s first profit decline in two years and it is owed to weaker sales in its main market, North America.&nbsp;
The world&rsquo;s largest automaker by sales volume reported revenue of&nbsp;11.44 trillion&nbsp;&nbsp;yen, topping LSEG&rsquo;s consensus estimate of&nbsp;11.41 trillion yen while net profit attributable to company more than halved compared to last year&rsquo;s comparable quarter to 573.7 billion yen. Sales volume slipped to 2.3 million from 2023&rsquo;s comparable quarter when it amounted to 2.42 million units.&nbsp;
One should note that sales were up against 2023&rsquo;s record as Toyota benefited from pivoting towards hybrids over all-electric vehicles. Hybrid sales fell 35% YoY over the past six months, but Toyota still sold an impressive figure of 1.8 million units.
<h3>Toyota&#39;s Trimmed Guidance</h3>
Toyota lowered its prior sales forecast of 10.95 million units to 10.85 million. However, it reaffirmed its annual sales revenue guidance of 46.00 trillion yen and a net income of 3.57 trillion yen.&nbsp;
Overall, Toyota posted stable sales in a challenging macroenvironment. Despite&nbsp;surface-level weakness in unit sales and profitability, Toyota&rsquo;s latest report shows a relatively stable performance.&nbsp;
Historically, Toyota has a good track record when it comes to growth, but the EV era that is in the making brought its fair share of challenges which will undoubtedly continue to test Toyota&rsquo;s strength.

Toyota And Honda's Profits Drop Due To Challenges In China

Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) reported second-quarter financial results before the market open on Wednesday. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41767933/toyota-motor-q2-sales-76-29b-beat-72-27b-estimate">of the report</a>. 
What Happened: Toyota reported second-quarter sales of 11.44 trillion yen ($76.29 billion), beating analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of 11.41 trillion yen. The company reported operating income of 1.15 trillion yen.
The second quarter marked Toyota&#8217;s first quarterly profit drop in two years, per Reuters. 
Sales volumes were down 20% year-over-year. The automaker reported 2.3 million vehicle sales for the quarter, compared to 2.41 million vehicles sales in the same period last year. Toyota also cut its full-year vehicle production target to 10.85 million from 10.95 million.

Toyota has been slower than competitors in making a shift to electric vehicles. Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda reportedly said an all-electric vehicle future would create significant job losses in the automotive industry.
"There are 5.5 million people involved in the automotive industry in Japan. Among them are those who have been doing engine-related (work) for a long time," he reportedly told reporters. 
"If electric vehicles simply become the only choice, including for our suppliers, those people's jobs would be lost."
Toyota raised its full-year dividend forecast to 90 yen and maintained its profit forecast for the current year at 4.3 trillion yen.
TM Price Action: At the time of publication, <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/tm">Toyota shares</a> were down 0.62% at $173.64, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Earnings Beats

Toyota Motor Q2 Sales $76.29B Beat $72.27B Estimate

Earnings season is about to kick off for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mobility">air mobility players</a> Joby Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JOBY#NYSE">JOBY</a>), Archer Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>), and Blade Air Mobility Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLDE#NYSE">BLDE</a>).
According to JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson, advanced air mobility (AAM) stocks are at a pivotal point, with certification hurdles, capital demands, and strategic partnerships set to dominate upcoming earnings calls. 
Here's what investors can expect as these pioneering companies prep for their third-quarter "flight plans."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Keep A Close Watch On Certification, Cash Burn</h2>
Investor sentiment in AAM has been slowly climbing, but certification delays for eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft remain a persistent drag. Certification is both capital- and time-intensive, and without a clear timeline from U.S. and European regulators, institutional investors are increasingly focused on which players have the balance sheet strength to navigate the long runway to commercialization.
Peterson notes that investor inbounds have spiked recently, with key questions centering on catalysts expected over the next six to 12 months. The recent $500 million Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) investment in Joby Aviation shows confidence in its tech and timeline, though short interest remains elevated at 18%, while Archer's recent capital raise could prompt scrutiny on funding stability—especially as ACHR's short interest stands at a lofty 27%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Catalysts: Certification Progress, Strategic Partners, Cash Flow</h2>
Earnings reports this quarter will likely serve as updates for each company's progress on four major fronts: 
<ul>
<li>Certification advancements</li>
<li>Strategic partnerships</li>
<li>Cash burn, and</li>
<li>New commercial or defense contracts.</li>
</ul>
Investors are eager for clarity on FAA milestones, with the agency recently loosening some eVTOL pilot training requirements that could have otherwise delayed timelines.
Blade, rated Overweight by JPMorgan, stands out for its diversified business model, including its medical transport services. The capital-light setup gives Blade a potentially clearer path to profitability compared to its peers. With only 7% short interest, investors seem relatively confident in Blade's resilience, particularly given its lower funding risk.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Election Impact? Minimal, Say Analysts</h2>
Interestingly, the upcoming U.S. election appears to be less of a concern for AAM stocks, with only 17% of surveyed investors expecting election outcomes to impact the AAM sector significantly. 
That's a stark contrast to higher election exposure concerns across other tech sectors, suggesting investors see air mobility's long-term trajectory as less politically sensitive, for now.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Forecasts, Ratings</h2>
Peterson has rolled forward his price targets, accounting for valuation adjustments in the context of multiple compressions. Here's the breakdown:
<ul>
<li>Joby Aviation: Rated Neutral, with a price target of $5. Despite the Toyota investment, short interest and funding risks are on investors&#8217; minds. Certification milestones will be crucial for maintaining investor confidence.</li>
<li>Archer Aviation: Rated Overweight, with a price target of $6. While Archer has raised capital, Peterson believes the company can close its valuation gap in the long term.</li>
<li>Blade: Also rated Overweight, with a $6 price target. Blade's diversified revenue model and medical transport services make it a relative safe bet in the volatile AAM space.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Next For Air Mobility?</h2>
For AAM stocks, the path forward hinges on regulatory clarity, investor patience, and continued capital access. While this earnings season may not resolve the sector's biggest questions, a few well-placed updates could send shares soaring—or struggling to stay afloat.

Toyota Motor's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) short percent of float has risen 20.0% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 779 thousand shares sold short, which is 0.06% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.08 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Toyota Motor has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Toyota Motor's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Toyota Motor's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.41%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Looking Into Toyota Motor's Recent Short Interest

Japanese automaker&nbsp;Toyota Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) said on Wednesday that it sold 853,149 Toyota and Lexus brand vehicles worldwide in September, a drop of 7.4% from September 2023, marking four consecutive months of drop in sales. 
What Happened:&nbsp;The dip in global sales was spurred by a sales decline in Japan, the U.S., and China. 
The company's sales in Japan dipped by 6.3% year-on-year to 135,179 units owing to the operation suspension caused by Typhoon No.10 to the end of August. 
In the U.S., sales dipped 20.3% due to the product suspension caused by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39530068/toyota-issues-recall-of-over-145-000-vehicles-amid-production-decline-in-may-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recall of the Lexus TX and Toyota Grand Highlander</a>&nbsp;in June in addition to impacts from the hurricane to the end of September. 
In China, too, sales fell 9.2% to 160,457 units owing to &#8220;continued severe market conditions&#8221; including an intensifying price war, the company said.
Production worldwide fell 8.3% to 826,556 units in September, marking the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41063317/toyotas-global-output-tumbles-11-after-suspension-of-production-of-2-suvs-in-north-america">eighth consecutive month of decline</a>. The decline was spurred by a decline in production in Japan and China where production fell 10.6% and 18.8%, respectively. 
Toyota's&nbsp;EV Sales:&nbsp;Toyota sold 403,221 electrified Toyota and Lexus vehicles globally in September, marking a jump of about 16% from Sept. 2023.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40745366/toyota-scales-back-2026-ev-production-plans-by-30-trims-target-to-1m-cars-as-global-demand-weakens-r" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Electrified vehicles</a>&nbsp;refer to hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles, mild hybrids, and fuel-cell electric vehicles.
Pure electric vehicles or BEVs accounted for just 2.8% of Toyota's overall electrified vehicle sales last month.

The Biden Administration on Thursday issued final approval for Ioneer&#8217;s lithium mine, a big step toward bringing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41443369/arkansas-may-be-sitting-on-19m-tons-of-lithium-amid-rising-demand-for-ev-batteries-how-to-invest-in">battery material sourcing to the U.S.</a> 
What To Know: Ioneer announced it received its federal permit for the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project in Nevada from the Bureau of Land Management.
Rhyolite Ridge is now the first U.S. lithium project to be approved by the Biden Administration&nbsp;as the government ramps up efforts to source battery metals domestically and offset China&#8217;s dominance. 
Construction of the mine is expected to start in 2025 with first production targeted for 2028. Ioneer said Rhyolite Ridge will supply batteries for more than 370,000 American-made electric vehicles. Ioneer could ultimately be a supplier for Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Toyota Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>). The company signed separate off-take agreements with Ford and a joint venture involving Toyota in 2022.
"I can say with absolute confidence there are few deposits in the world as impactful as Rhyolite Ridge. Today's approval of Ioneer's federal permit is the culmination of countless hours of work and a testament to our remarkable team's dedication to developing and building one of the most sustainable mining projects in the country," said James Calaway, executive chairman of Ioneer.
"We are pleased by what we have achieved working with the Biden Administration, and by the bi-partisan support we have received at the federal, state and local levels."
The lithium mine approval is the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38824198/biden-announces-massive-tariffs-on-chinese-imports-to-protect-us-industries-clean-energy-solar-stock">latest move</a> from the Biden Administration to reduce reliance on China for critical minerals production.

With all eyes on Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and its third quarter earnings that are scheduled for release after the bell, General Motors (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gm#NYSE">GM</a>) made quite an earnings appearance this week, smashing estimates and hiking its earnings guidance for the third time this year, fueled by the strength of trucks and crossovers in the U.S. market.
The unquestioned king of pickup trucks Ford Motor (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>) is due to report it result on October 28th. But while General Motors continued to expand its EV lineup, Ford has been turning to hybrids to deal with mounting EV losses.
The last but not least of the Big Three in the U.S., Stellantis (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stla#NYSE">STLA</a>), might have started with layoffs earlier in October, which are part of its broader cost cuts, but this week, it revealed its plans to launch an EV fleet with game changing technology.&nbsp;
Everyone is adapting differently to the evolving automotive landscape.
Stellantis to launch EV fleet fitted with factorial solid-state batteries
By 2026, Stellantis will be launching a demonstration fleet of EVs fitted with solid-state batteries from U.S. startup Factorial. This battery technology reduces fire risk and enables automakers to make lighter and lower-cost EVs while improving their range on a single charge.&nbsp;By integrating Factorial&#39;s innovative battery solution into the STLA Large platform, Stellantis is validating its potential to enhance its EV lineup, improving the experience for its EV buyers. Batteries will be fitted in a fleet of all-new Dodge Charger Daytona vehicles, with the STLA Large platforms also supporting large-sized models of other group brands, such as Jeep, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo and Maserati.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Worksport Ltd (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wksp#NASDAQ">WKSP</a>) continues to enhance the pickup experience with its innovative tonneau covers.
Established as an innovative&nbsp;U.S.-based manufacturer of hybrid and clean energy solutions for light trucks, Worksport&nbsp;just announced a targeted market release of its highly anticipated&nbsp;AL4 Premium Tonneau Cover has been scheduled for December 15th,&nbsp;with manufacturing of production-ready samples for testing and customer evaluation already in motion. With this launch, Worksports expects to further&nbsp;boost sales channels,&nbsp;improve profit margins, and enhance brand penetration considering that this is the&nbsp;highest-volume category of all hard tonneau covers in the&nbsp;$4 billion&nbsp;market. The initial offering will cover Ford Motor, Ram under the Stellantis umbrella and General Motors with Chevrolet and GMC brands, while the R&amp;D team works on developing variations to suit Toyota Motor (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tm#NYSE">TM</a>), Nissan Motor Co Ltd (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nsany#OTC">NSANY</a>), and Honda Motor Co Ltd (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hmc#NYSE">HMC</a>).
Worksport already disrupted the market with its solar-power duo: the tonneau cover SOLIS and the&nbsp;portable battery system COR that are currently in the Alpha release phase.&nbsp;These portable&nbsp;nano-grid systems&nbsp;are set to revolutionize off-grid power solutions, bringing the pickup experience to a whole new level. In September, Worksport reported successful lab results of level 1 Tesla charging with the COR energy system, more precisely of the Model 3. Therefore, Worksport addressed range anxiety that has also been troubling owners of the Tesla Cybertruck, while already nearing completion of product engineering for its solar-powered ecosystem to fit the first electric pickup that has hit the road, the R1T from Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rivn#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>). In addition, Worksport also has an active partnership with Hyundai for the SOLIS that will also be available for General Motor and Ford pickups, among others.&nbsp;
Electric or powered by an internal combustion engine, pickups are as strong as it gets so no wonder their popularity is showing no signs of fading away even in the EV era that is changing the automotive industry for good.&nbsp;

The Power Of Pickups Shows No Signs Of Fading Away Even In The EV Era

Hyundai Motor-owned robotics company Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Institute (TRI) entered into a research partnership last week, in a bid to replicate Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) progress with its Optimus humanoid robot.
What Happened: The newly announced partnership is aimed at accelerating the development of humanoid robots. The partnership will bring together TRI&#8217;s Large Behavior Models and Boston Dynamics' <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/38616232/lex-fridman-wowed-by-boston-dynamics-new-robotic-innovation-compares-its-atlas-robot-to-teslas-optim">Atlas humanoid robot</a>, in a bid to deploy the robot across tasks by enhancing its whole-body skills.
"This partnership is an example of two companies with a strong research-and-development foundation coming together to work on many complex challenges and build useful robots that solve real-world problems," said&nbsp;Robert Playter, CEO of Boston Dynamics.
The partnership will be co-lead by Scott Kuindersma, senior director of Robotics Research at Boston Dynamics, and Russ Tedrake, vice president of Robotics Research at Toyota Research Institute. TRI is owned by Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>).
Why It Matters: EV giant Tesla showcased its Optimus bots at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41284847/tesla-reveals-two-seater-cybercab-that-drives-itself" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">its robotaxi unveiling event</a>&nbsp;earlier this month. About 20 active robots walked through the crowd assembled at the event. Optimus poured drinks, handed out snacks, and performed dance moves.
However, the robots were&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41354482/tesla-engineer-admits-optimus-robots-were-human-assisted-to-some-extent-at-robotaxi-unveiling-event" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">human-assisted to "some extent&#8221;</a>&nbsp;to showcase the company&#8217;s vision at the event, Tesla Head of Engineering For Optimus&nbsp;Milan Kovac&nbsp;said in a post on X.
Kovac also said that the company&#8217;s development on Optimus was greatly boosted by the company&#8217;s work on driver assistance features deployed on its EV fleet. The same technology, Kovac said, is used on both the car and the Tesla bot, barring some details and the dataset needed to train the Optimus&#8217; AI. 
In July, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the EV company would have &#8220;genuinely useful&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37950895/elon-musk-says-cost-of-making-an-optimus-is-half-that-of-manufacturing-a-tesla-ev-despite-complexity">humanoid robot</a>s in low production for use within its factories next year. The company will &#8220;hopefully&#8221; increase production for other customers in 2026, he said.
