Japan's second-biggest automaker reported operating profit of 153.4 billion yen ($987.07 million) for October-December, down 61.4% year-on-year and missing the 174.5 billion yen average forecast from nine analysts polled by LSEG. U.S. tariffs pulled results down by a further 280 billion yen for that period, it said. The U.S. remains Honda's top market, accounting for more than two-fifths of its global sales over those nine months. The company maintained its operating profit forecast for the year ending March 2026 at 550 billion yen. CFO Eiji Fujimura said the full‑year outlook still faced potential downside risks from remaining losses tied to Honda's U.S. EV business.
