- Thursday, January 17, 7:51 PM Japanese shares jump in early trading, with the Nikkei Average up 2.2% at 10,844, as the dollar trades around its highest level against the yen since mid-2010. Once again, exporters lead the charge: Mazda (MZDAY.PK +7.6%), Sony (SNE +3.9%), Honda (HMC +2.9%), Advantest(ATE +6.5%) and Tokyo Electron (TOELY.PK). 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Thursday, January 17, 8:05 AM One of the big themes coming out of the Detroit Auto Show this week is the impressive resurgence of Japanese automakers (HMC, TM, NSANY.OB) following natural disasters in 2011 that crippled production in the region. Last year, the group increased its market share in the U.S. by three percentage points to 37.9% and new vehicles slated to debut this year look promising. For investors, Japanese auto stocks look more attractive with the yen retreating from "adverse territory" where profits are hard to find. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Wednesday, January 16, 11:36 AM Morgan Stanley upgrades Honda (HMC -0.8%) to Overweight from Underweight as valuation looks attractive with the automaker strategically shifting production to lower cost regions. In North America, the company may hit produce as much as 95% of all the vehicles it sells on the continent if a factory in Mexico opens next year. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Tuesday, January 15, 7:44 PM Japanese stocks dip today as the Nikkei Average slipped 1% at 10,766, taking a breather after hitting a multi-year high in the previous session. The yen moved up slightly against the dollar, sending automakers and other top Japanese exporters lower: Mazda (MZDAY.PK -2.1%), Honda (HMC -1.7%) and Sharp (SHCAY.PK -2.4%). Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, January 15, 4:25 PM GM (GM) -1% AH after CFO Dan Ammann states at a Deutsche conference the auto giant expects 2013 pre-tax earnings to be roughly flat with 2012, and for margins to also be flat - analysts currently expect EPS to rise to $3.89 from $3.27. U.S. industry volumes are seen rising ~5% this year, with a higher mix of luxury vehicles and small cars and flat truck production. European volumes are expected to drop ~4%, with an ongoing mix shift towards smaller vehicles. (webcast) (slides - PDF) 1 Comment [Consumer, Earnings]
- Tuesday, January 15, 1:00 PM More news from the Detroit Auto Show: 1) The new Lexus IS sedan from Toyota is unveiled to positive initial reviews. The mix of a sporty look, luxury, and performance looks promising. 2) Kia plans to enter the premium sedan market in the U.S. with the 2014 Cadenza model. The automaker hasn't set pricing, but it could be below high-end alternatives. 3) Nissan unwraps its Resonance crossover. The look is called "futuristic." 4) The overall tone from this year's auto confab is that demand for style is back. Sportscars are hot and electric vehicles are not. (previous recaps) 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, January 11, 8:07 AM Japan PM Shinzo Abe ratchets the rhetoric back up over a territorial island dispute with China, saying the nation was "wrong" for allowing violent protests to escalate over the issue to put political goals over trade. The strong stance from Abe doesn't bode well for Japanese automakers (HMC, TM, NSANY.OB) looking to turn slumping sales in China back around. Comment! [Global & FX, Consumer]
- Friday, January 11, 7:25 AM Honda (HMC) plans to cut 800 jobs in the U.K. due to falling demand in Europe. A plant near Swindon, England which makes Civic, Jazz and CR-V models will see the bulk of the cuts. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Thursday, January 10, 7:59 PM Japanese stocks posted strong gains in early trading on a big drop in the yen. The Nikkei Average jumped 1.6% higher to 10,825, while the Topix rose 1.4% to 901.45, topping the 900 level for the first time since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. With the dollar above ¥89 mark for the first time since 2010, exporters were among the top gainers: Honda (HMC +2.1%), Mazda (MZDAY.PK +4.6%), Panasonic (PC +2.3%), and Sharp (SHCAY.PK +10.2%). Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, January 8, 7:58 PM Japanese stocks extend their losses again today, as further gains for the yen hit exporters and overnight losses in the U.S. weighed on the overall market. The Nikkei Average is currently down 0.6% at 10,445: Sharp (SHCAY.PK -2.4%), Suzuki Motor (SZKMY.PK -2.3%), Honda (HMC -2.7%), and Mazda (MZDAY.PK -3.5%), Sony (SNE -1.8%). Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MTU -1.7%), Mizuho Financial Group (MFG -1.9%), and Nomura Holdings (NMR -2.1%). 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Monday, January 7, 2:06 PM Google isn't the only company pushing the self-driving car initiative as Audi (VLKAY.PK) announces it received permission from Nevada to operate a driverless car on roads. Despite the buzz over the concept, early adoption of the technology might not look like much more than new versions of cruise control or self-parking features. But down the road, the sky is the limit. Google already has logged 300K miles of accident-free autonomous driving while Toyota promises to unveil its futuristic vision at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, January 7, 7:58 AM Japanese automakers aren't giving up in China, brushing aside the lingering anti-Japan protests in the country to set ambitious sales targets for 2013. Toyota (TM) thinks it will sell 840K vehicles in China, up 7.1% from a year ago, while Honda (HMC) expects to grow sales by close to 25% to 750K vehicles. Despite the rosy projections for a recovery from automakers, some analysts are skeptical. Macquarie Securities expects demand in China for Japanese cars to fall 10% Y/Y in Q1. Comment! [Global & FX, Consumer]
- Monday, January 7, 3:25 AM Japanese auto sales jump 26% to 3.39M vehicles in 2012, boosted by government subsidies for purchases of fuel-efficient cars. However, the ending of the incentives in September helped sales fall 3.4% Y/Y in December to 214,429. Toyota's (TM) monthly sales -3.4%, although the Lexus was +32%, Honda (HMC) -39% amid a lack of new models, and Nissan (NSANF.PK) -8.9%. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Friday, January 4, 6:54 AM Automobile industry analysts in China expect the market for vehicles to only grow between 5% and 10% in 2013 with a slowing economy and higher fuel costs still a drag on demand. Initiatives by local governments to curb car sales in an effort to ease traffic concerns could also stall the ambitious plans of General Motors (GM) and Ford (F) in the nation, while Japaneses automakers (NSANY.OB, HMC, TM) have even larger concerns with a public backlash due to a territorial dispute still a major factor. 4 Comments [Global & FX, Consumer]
- Thursday, January 3, 8:05 PM Japanese stocks move higher, as investors returned from a weeklong holiday to find the yen sharply weaker than when they left. The Nikkei Average jumped 2.8% to 10,686, with big export names posting heavy gains: Toshiba (TOSYY.PK +4.5%), Nikon NINOY.PK]] +5.3%), Hitachi (HTHIY.PK +3.8%), Bridgestone BRDCY.PK +7.1%), Toyota Motor (TM +4.5%), and Honda (HMC +4.9%). Financials also move up: Nomura Holdings (NMR +4.2%), Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MTU +3.3%), Daiwa Securities Group (DSEEY.PK +3.6%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, January 3, 2:48 PM U.S. auto sales wrapup: After all is said and done automakers see 2012 end with close to 14.5M vehicles sold in the U.S., up 13% from 2011. A strong December for Ford, GM, and Chrysler capped off the year, while Japanese automakers improved sales dramatically from last year's earthquake-ravaged mark but fell short of the estimates of analysts. South Korean automakers Kia and Hyundai felt the sales sting from a flap over inflated fuel rating claims, while in the luxury market BMW edged out Audi and Mercedes. On tap: Can the industry sell 15M cars in 2013? 15 Comments [Consumer]

Out of those Oct $35 $HMC calls at $5.90, for a ~9% gain. Better than a sharp stick in the eye. - View all 0 replies
