- Toyota sold a record 11.3 million vehicles in 2025, marking a 4.6% increase and securing its position as the world's top-selling automaker for the sixth consecutive year.
- This sales growth was primarily driven by strong demand in the U.S. and Japan, robust sales of hybrids (accounting for approximately 42% of parent-brand sales), and contributions from Lexus and subsidiaries.
- Global production climbed approximately 5.7% year-on-year to roughly 11.22 million units in 2025, as Toyota recovered from prior certification and recall disruptions.
- U.S. tariff policy, including a 25% tariff on Japanese automobiles imposed in April 2025 (later reduced to 15% in September), weighed on Toyota's profitability.
- Battery-electric vehicles still represent a small share of parent-brand sales, making up about 1.9% of Toyota's global vehicle sales.
- Toyota's plan to take Toyota Industries private with an offer of ¥18,800 per share, valuing the company at approximately $27.8 billion, is being challenged.
- Activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which holds 6.7% of Toyota Industries, argues the offer undervalues the company by about 40%.
- Elliott may need an additional 7% of votes to block the transaction by the Feb. 12 tender deadline, as passive index holders (about 19% of voting rights) could refuse to tender at the current price.
- The dispute is seen as a test of evolving corporate governance in Japan, with Elliott potentially increasing its stake or mounting a counterbid.
- Elliott Investment Management is opposing the Toyota Group’s proposed ¥6.1 trillion ($39 billion) take-private of Toyota Industries, urging minority shareholders not to tender their shares.
- Elliott, now the largest minority investor with a stake above 5%, argues the revised offer of ¥18,800 per share significantly undervalues the company, estimating its intrinsic net asset value at approximately ¥26,000–¥26,134 per share.
- The hedge fund has proposed a standalone plan that it believes could lift Toyota Industries' valuation to more than ¥40,000 per share by 2028.
- Elliott warned that allowing the revised tender offer to succeed would negatively impact Japan’s corporate governance reforms and investor interest.
- Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has increased the maximum Tender Offer Price cap for its own shares from 2,691 yen (based on June 2, 2025) to 3,641 yen (based on January 13, 2026).
- This change revises the total purchase price for the share repurchase to up to 4,341,277,243,820 yen.
- The company plans to fund the repurchase from its own capital, with consolidated on-hand liquidity expected to be 3,771,627 million yen after the transaction, down from 8,112,922 million yen as of September 30, 2025.
- The maximum number of shares to be purchased remains 1,192,331,020 shares.
- Additionally, the total Contribution amount for non-voting preferred shares was increased from 706 billion yen to up to 800 billion yen.
- Toyota has increased its tender offer for Toyota Industries to ¥18,800 (about $118) per share, valuing the company at approximately ¥5.6 trillion (about $35 billion).
- The offer, driven by Toyota Motor and its real-estate arm Toyota Fudosan, aims to take Toyota Industries private to align long-term plans and deepen group collaboration, with an acceptance window from January 15 to February 12.
- Toyota boosted its funding commitment for the privatization to ¥800 billion.
- This revised bid follows activist investor Elliott's argument that the original proposal undervalued the business.
