Why is Toyota Motor Corporation (TM) stock moving?
Toyota's operating profit for July-September rose 34% to 1.13 trillion yen, above the roughly 992 billion yen analysts expected and its first year-over-year quarterly increase in six quarters. It raised its full-year operating-profit forecast 15% to 3.9 trillion yen (about $24.6 billion), helped by strong hybrid sales, a weaker yen and lower U.S. tariffs, even as it cut its vehicle-sales forecast. It plans to return up to 14 trillion yen (about $89 billion) to shareholders by March 2031, double the roughly 7 trillion yen of the past five years, and raised its current buyback to 1.3 trillion yen. Its Tokyo shares closed up about 17%; at about 10:27 AM ET its U.S. shares were $219.00, up 9.8%.
