Nissan's Recovery Won't Be Easy, But Insiders Believe It Can Be Done

  • We initiate coverage on Nissan with a Buy rating, given the extremely pessimistic current market valuation, providing a steep margin of safety. Our US$7.80/sh price target reflects our view that Nissan's problems are not new, and Nissan has been buying back their undervalued shares at similar prices since 2023. Nissan's hefty balance sheet and a 1.53 current ratio, show they can get through the current headwinds, and this contributes to our investment thesis.
