For the first half of 2022, Toyota’s sales and production declined 6.1% and 3.5% Y/Y, respectively, due to the impact of the global spread of COVID-19 along with semiconductor shortages.
Production outside of Japan in the first half climbed 4.4% due to increased capacity and production optimization in China and a rebound from a slump caused by the impact of COVID-19 in various countries in the previous year, particularly in Asia.
However, Toyota warned that the situation remains challenging due to semiconductor shortages and the spread of COVID-19.
As a result, the company cautioned about the possibility of a downturn in the production plan.
Price Action: TM shares are trading lower by 0.79% at $158.79 in premarket on the last check Thursday.
