- 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.
