Nissan projects return to profitability following restructuring efforts
Nissan reported a narrow operating profit of 58.0 billion yen ($367.60 million) for the fiscal year ending March 2026, aided by a one-off boost from U.S. emissions regulations. The company projects profit above $1 billion for the current fiscal year as part of its ongoing restructuring drive, though it expects modest headwinds from Iran tensions.
