09:50 AM EDT, 09/12/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We raise our 12-month target price to USD225 from USD180. This implies a valuation of 11.2x our unchanged FY 26 (Mar.) EPS estimate of JPY160, as Toyota's ( TM ) stronger-than-anticipated operational resilience in Q1 FY 26, evidenced by a 7.1% increase in global vehicle sales, a 125% surge in emerging market profitability, and effective cost reduction efforts, partially offset the significant headwinds from U.S. tariffs and foreign exchange volatility. In our view, the company's operational resilience justifies a modestly higher earnings multiple that reflects its ability to navigate challenges while maintaining strategic investments in electrification and shareholder returns. We maintain our FY 26 and FY 27 EPS estimates, as the full-year drag from tariffs and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties continues to cap near-term earnings potential, reinforcing our Hold recommendation that balances Toyota's ( TM ) solid fundamentals and liquidity position against the persistent pressures that limit a more substantial upside re-rating.
