Nissan Motor Co. Hits Day High with Strong 6.98% Intraday Surge

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has experienced a significant uptick in its stock performance today, gaining 6.98% as of October 7, 2025. The stock reached an intraday high of JPY 393.00, marking a notable moment in its trading activity. This performance stands out against the backdrop of the Japan Nikkei 225, which rose by 4.75% on the same day. Over the past week, Nissan has shown a 6.54% increase, slightly outperforming the Nikkei 225's 6.44% gain. In the month leading up to this date, the stock has risen by 11.48%, again surpassing the index's performance of 11.45%. However, it is important to note that Nissan's year-to-date performance remains negative at -19.87%, contrasting sharply with the Nikkei 225's positive return of 20.18%. Despite today's gains, Nissan faces challenges, including a low Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 2.23% and a high Debt to Equity ratio of 1.29. These factors contribute to a complex financial landscape for the company, which has reported negative results for the last five consecutive quarters.
