Aug 03 2025: Honda reported a 50% drop in operating profit for the April–June quarter, attributing a ¥125 billion loss to 27.5% U.S. import tariffs and foreign exchange pressures. The resulting ¥244.2 billion ($1.66 billion) profit fell well below analyst expectations of ¥311.7 billion

Despite the headwinds, Honda raised its full year profit outlook to ¥700 billion (from ¥500 billion), anticipating tariff relief to 15% from September under a new trade deal and expecting a weaker yen to support earnings
