Among these, two have issued sell recommendations, two maintain hold ratings and three advise buying. Since late October, Zacks Research downgraded its view to “Strong Sell,” while Erste Group lifted its rating to “Buy,” reflecting diverging outlooks on Toyota’s near-term growth prospects.

In its latest quarterly report, Toyota delivered adjusted earnings per share of ¥4.85, surpassing consensus estimates of ¥3.36 by ¥1.49. Revenue reached ¥81.22 billion, topping forecasts of ¥79.06 billion. The automaker reported a net margin of 9.33% and a return on equity of 12.32%, illustrating resilient profitability despite ongoing supply-chain challenges and currency headwinds.

Several major investors have recently increased their Toyota holdings, signaling confidence in the company’s long-term outlook. Connor Clark & Lunn Investment Management more than tripled its stake in the third quarter, adding over 170,000 shares. Orion Portfolio Solutions raised its position more than sevenfold in the second quarter, while Fisher Asset Management and Clark Capital Management Group also modestly expanded their Toyota allocations. These moves suggest institutional investors are accumulating at current valuation levels ahead of Toyota’s FY 2026 guidance of ¥15.249 earnings per share.
