EU AUTOMOTIVE: Nissan (NSANY Ba2neg/BBneg/BBneg): Moody’s Downgrade

Jun-06 09:56

We don’t see this as particularly impactful with not much new in the release. With expectations already off a cliff for this year, it will be some time before we can judge for signs of a turnaround.

  • Nissan was downgraded by Ba2, with outlook still negative, taking it in line with the other two main agencies.
  • That mainly reflects FY24 results and FY25 guidance, with negative EBIT margin and FCF expected. Moody’s expects breakeven FCF by FY26, with guidance for positive.
  • A return to stable will hinge on execution of the restructuring program with a sustained return to positive FCF and EBIT. Successful product launches would also be a positive signal.
  • On the other hand, prolonged losses could trigger a further downgrade.
