Nissan manages to stem the effects of the export crisis that is affecting Japan. The group closed the July-September quarter with a net profit of 911 million euros. The drop compared to the same period last year was very slight, while the result exceeded analysts' forecasts by about 40%.
Sales are up by 0,8%. In the markets of Europe, the USA and China, the increase is double-digit: +11%. For the full year, the company expects a net profit of 2,7 billion euros, an estimate revised upwards after the good results of the summer months. The automotive company is owned for over 40% by the French Renault, which is affected by the good results of the Japanese partner, recording good results on the European lists.
