Honda profit rises for first time in six quarters, raises full-year forecast

Honda Motor reported a significant increase in operating profit for the second quarter of 2026, marking the first rise in six quarters. The improvement was attributed to a weaker yen, which boosted profits despite challenges such as declining global sales and increased material costs related to the Iran war. The company's operating profit reached 530.8 billion yen ($3.37 billion), surpassing analyst expectations of 302.1 billion yen. Honda has revised its full-year operating profit forecast upward by 30%, now projecting 650 billion yen for the entire year.
