7267: HEV Reallocation And Cost Discipline Will Support Future Upside Potential

Analysts have trimmed their price target on Honda Motor slightly to ¥1,579 from ¥1,595, reflecting updated assumptions around fair value, discount rate, profit margin, and future P/E that remain broadly consistent with prior views. What's in the News Honda cancelled the market launches and development of certain EV models planned for production in North America, and is reallocating resources toward hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) models and cost competitiveness in core regions including Japan, the United States, India, and broader Asia (company announcement, March 12, 2026).

6758: Content Franchises Will Offset Memory And AI Risks Over Time

Analysts have nudged their fair value estimate for Sony Group lower from about ¥4,969 to roughly ¥4,887. This reflects slightly softer long term revenue growth assumptions, marginally slimmer profit margins, and a modestly reduced future P/E, as they factor in potential pressure on PlayStation hardware economics from higher memory costs and ongoing questions around AI risk for the music business.
