Honda Shares Jump As Reports Say It Wants Nissan As Subsidiary

Arun Jain, 05/02/2025


Tokyo, Japan:

Honda shares surged on Wednesday as Japanese media said the automaker had proposed making its struggling rival Nissan a subsidiary — with some reports saying the move could spell the end of their merger talks. The companies agreed in December to launch discussions on joining forces to create the world’s third largest automaker, seen as a bid to catch up with Tesla and Chinese electric vehicle firms.

Honda’s CEO insisted at the time it was not a bailout for Nissan, which last year announced thousands of job cuts after reporting a 93 percent plunge in first-half net profit.

Japanese public broadcaster NHK and other media outlets reported Tuesday that Honda was offering to acquire Nissan shares and make it a subsidiary, instead of the previous plan to integrate under a new holding company.

But that proposal is expected to face fierce opposition from Nissan over concerns about its autonomy, the reports said.

Honda shares jumped more than four percent in Wednesday morning trade. Nissan also surged more than seven percent but pared gains and was up 3.3 percent before the break.

A Honda spokeswoman told AFP there had been no official announcement and declined to comment further. 

Nissan said merger discussions were “ongoing”, adding that “we aim to finalise our direction by mid-February and will announce it at that time.”

The Asahi newspaper said both companies would soon hold separate board meetings to discuss issues including the possibility of calling off the talks.

The Yomiuri daily cited an unnamed Nissan executive as saying the merger was now “almost impossible”, with difficulties satisfying shareholders on either side.

Lacklustre consumer spending and stiff competition in several markets are making life hard for many automakers.

Business has been especially tough for foreign brands in China where electric vehicle manufacturers such as BYD are leading the way as demand grows for less polluting vehicles.

Honda and Nissan are Japan’s number two and three automakers after Toyota.

They already agreed last year to explore a partnership on EV software and components among other technologies, an initiative joined by Mitsubishi Motors in August.

But the smaller automaker’s chief said this week that it will make a final decision on whether to join the Honda-Nissan merger talks in mid-February or later.
