Honda Motor Co. Hits Day High with 3.51% Surge in Stock Price

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has shown significant activity today, with the stock rising by 3.51% as of October 22, 2025. The stock reached an intraday high of JPY 1,625.50, reflecting a notable performance against the backdrop of the Japan Nikkei 225, which increased by only 0.27% on the same day. Over the past week, Honda's stock has gained 5.16%, slightly trailing the Nikkei 225's 5.27% increase. However, the company's performance over the past month has been less favorable, with a decline of 0.67%, contrasting sharply with the Nikkei's 9.48% rise. Year-to-date, Honda has managed a gain of 5.54%, while the Nikkei has outperformed with a 23.62% increase. Despite these recent gains, Honda's long-term performance remains a concern, with a three-year decline of 50.26% and a five-year drop of 37.97%. The company's financial metrics indicate challenges, including a low Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 5.93% and a Debt to Equity ratio of 0.64. These factors contribute to a complex market position for Honda Motor Co., Ltd. as it navigates its operational landscape.
