Description: HMC Honda Motor January 29, 2026

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (NYSE:HMC) designs, manufactures, and distributes motorcycles, automobiles, and power products worldwide, operating through four segments: Motorcycle, Automobile, Financial Services, and Power Product & Other.

The Motorcycle segment covers sport, business, commuter bikes and off-road vehicles, accounting for roughly 22 % of the global two-wheel market and generating ¥3.1 trillion in FY 2024 revenue, up 4 % YoY on a recovering Asian demand base.

The Automobile segment sells passenger cars, light trucks, and mini-vehicles; FY 2024 sales reached 4.9 million units, with EV deliveries climbing 38 % to 120 k units, reflecting the sector-wide shift toward electrification and tighter emissions standards in North America and Europe.

Financial Services contributes ¥1.2 trillion in FY 2024 profit, driven by a 3.5 % net interest margin on retail leasing and dealer financing, but remains sensitive to Japan’s rising policy rates and credit-risk trends.

The Power Product & Other segment includes engines, generators, and the HondaJet, delivering 12 aircraft in FY 2024 and supporting a modest yet growing niche in business aviation.

Key macro drivers include the global chip supply normalization, which is easing production bottlenecks, and the ongoing shift toward electric mobility that is reshaping both motorcycle and automobile demand curves.
