Dialogue

Chako: Hey Log, I heard that Mazda reported a loss of 42.1 billion yen! What’s going on?
Log: Yeah, it seems that the tariff policies from the Trump administration have had an impact. They were in the black last year, but now they’re in the red.
Chako: Wow! Is the impact really that big?
Navi: Tariff policies directly affect a company’s costs, so they’re considered a significant factor, especially for automakers that export a lot.
Log: So, Mazda will need to take some measures to recover their performance moving forward.
Chako: Yeah, I hope they do their best!

Admin’s Note

Mazda’s 42.1 billion yen loss is quite surprising. While the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration have had an impact, the difference compared to the previous year is significant. I think this is a good example of how much external factors can influence a company. I’m curious about the measures Mazda will take moving forward and how they plan to recover their performance. Since the trends in the entire automotive industry are also related, I want to continue following this situation closely.
