Nissan Posts First Quarterly Operating Loss in Over Four Years Amid U.S. Tariffs, Slumping Sales

July 30, 2025 – On Wednesday, Nissan Motor Co. revealed its first quarterly operating loss in over four years, as the struggling Japanese automaker grapples with the dual pressures of U.S. import tariffs and declining sales.

The company reported a 79.1 billion yen ($540 million) operating loss for the April-June period, a figure significantly narrower than the 123.9 billion yen average loss forecast by five analysts surveyed by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).

Notably, this outcome also represents a substantial improvement over Nissan’s own earlier projection. During its previous fiscal year results announcement in May, the automaker had warned of an expected 200 billion yen operating loss for the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

The results underscore the ongoing challenges facing Nissan as it attempts to stabilize its operations amid global economic headwinds and shifting consumer preferences.
