rival Honda earlier this year.<\/a> Talks broke down in February when Honda insisted Nissan become a subsidiary\u2014an offer Nissan rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJust last month, Nissan issued a profit warning, projecting a net loss of \u00a5700 to \u00a5750 billion ($4.8\u2013$5.1 billion) for FY 2024\u201325. That would surpass its previous worst loss in 1999\u20132000 when the company nearly collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Struggling Against Global Headwinds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Like many legacy carmakers, Nissan is grappling with a fast-evolving global auto market. Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers are outpacing traditional players in technology and pricing, while U.S. tariffs of 25% on imported vehicles have further strained Nissan\u2019s margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike Toyota or Honda, Nissan\u2019s consumer base is more price-sensitive, limiting its ability to pass on costs. According to Bloomberg analyst Tatsuo Yoshida, this makes Nissan particularly vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Downgraded Ratings and Project Delays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Amid the turbulence, credit rating agencies have downgraded Nissan to junk status. Moody\u2019s cited \u201cweak profitability\u201d and an \u201caging model portfolio\u201d as key concerns. In another setback, Nissan recently shelved a $1 billion battery plant project in southern Japan, citing a challenging business environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These mounting issues follow years of instability, including the 2018 arrest and dramatic escape of former chairman Carlos Ghosn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A New CEO, But Old Problems Remain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Nissan appointed a new CEO in March, but systemic challenges remain. With its stock price down nearly 40% in the past year, urgent restructuring is underway. Whether drastic job cuts and strategic pivots can revive Nissan remains to be seen\u2014but for now, the company is in survival mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
