TOKYO — Toyota Motor announced on Tuesday, August 4th, 2026, that it has raised its net profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 to 3.25 trillion yen (approximately $20.6 billion). The revision upward was attributed to the depreciation of the yen, which has provided a favorable exchange rate impact.

The automaker also reported a 75.6% rise in its net profit for the first quarter, surpassing market expectations. This positive performance and the revised exchange rate assumptions contributed to an estimated $3 billion boost in operating profit projections.

Toyota's strong financial outlook comes amid ongoing global economic challenges, with the company maintaining a robust presence in key markets across Asia, including Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia.

Additionally, Toyota vehicles were showcased at the Bangkok International Motor Show in Bangkok on March 23, highlighting the company's active engagement in the regional automotive market.
