Close on Sep 18, 2026. Page updated Sep 19, 9:19 pm ET.
Gekko Brief
AI summaryHonda Motor closes at $32.20, down 1% on the day but sitting above both its 50-day average of $30.85 and its 200-day average of $28.43, with the shorter average above the longer one. The GekkoIndex reads 57.4, placing the stock in the Neutral zone. Against this, Gekko Fair Value stands at $51.67, leaving price 37.7% below that level.
This week's news centers on Honda's investment, through Honda Xcelerator Ventures, in Niron Magnetics, a US-based developer of rare-earth-free iron nitride permanent magnets, aimed at reducing dependence on rare earth materials for electrified vehicle powertrains. Analyst views have diverged: Wall Street Zen upgraded the stock to a "Moderate Buy" consensus with a $34.00 average price target, while a separate report cites an average "Hold" rating with a $25.00 twelve-month target. A comparison piece also weighs Honda against Ford on hybrids, EV investment, motorcycles and recurring revenue as themes shaping 2026 growth prospects.
Looking ahead, the next earnings date falls on 6 November 2026, 47 days out and beyond a typical 20-trading-day holding window. Honda's last report, on 5 August 2026, showed EPS of $2.18 with a 2% reaction, and the company posted 3 beats across 7 quarters, with an average absolute reaction of 3.6%. Seasonality over this calendar stretch has averaged -5.4% across 5 years, rising in just 1 of them, a pattern worth noting alongside the current consensus target of $29.60.

Last earnings call, Aug 5, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Honda reported record consolidated operating profit of JPY 530.7 billion for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2026. Key drivers were strong Motorcycle performance (all-time high quarterly operating profit, driven by India and Brazil), solid Automobile results in North America (automotive operating profit JPY 192.1 billion, margin 5.0%), and favorable foreign exchange and tariff impacts. No EV-related losses were recorded in Q1; EV-related losses for the full year were maintained at JPY 500 billion at the start of the year and revised to JPY 520 billion to reflect exchange-rate changes. Management revised the consolidated operating profit forecast upward by JPY 150 billion to JPY 650 billion and updated the exchange-rate assumption to JPY 155/USD. Production was disrupted by the July 28, 2026 Kumamoto earthquake, with temporary suspensions at multiple domestic plants and parts shortages from suppliers; management is monitoring supplier recovery and possible alternative sourcing. Management detailed ongoing supplier negotiations related to North America EV strategy and compensation; timing and amounts of EV-related loss recognition remain uncertain and may be booked stepwise as negotiations progress. Other topics included China’s weak ICE/hybrid market and model transition, semiconductor supply/cost pressures (memory cost increases factored into guidance), and contingency planning for earthquake-related supply disruptions. Overall tone: upbeat on reported results and guidance uplift but cautious around EV-loss realization, China market weakness, semiconductor costs, earthquake recovery, and FX volatility.
- Guidance
- Revised consolidated operating profit forecast for fiscal year ending March 31, 2027: increased by JPY 150 billion to JPY 650 billion. Exchange-rate assumption revised to JPY 155 per USD. EV-related losses for the fiscal year: JPY 520 billion (reflecting foreign exchange impact; originally JPY 500 billion). Unit-sales and other full-year sales forecasts were generally maintained (no broad downward revision announced). Semiconductor-related additional cost of JPY 20-30 billion was already factored into the forecast.
- Risks flagged
- Kumamoto earthquake causing production suspensions and supplier damage leading to parts shortages and uncertain restart timing; ongoing, uncertain EV-related losses tied to supplier compensation negotiations (timing and amounts unknown); continued weakness in the Chinese ICE/hybrid market and model transition risk in China; semiconductor supply and rising memory costs (additional JPY 20-30 billion factored); foreign exchange volatility (sensitivity ~ JPY 10-12 billion per JPY1 movement) which can both help and hurt (especially U.S.-denominated EV supplier payments); geopolitical uncertainty (Middle East) potentially impacting unit sales and material inflation.
