Upturn Advisory & Investor View for TM

10/09/2026: TM (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Toyota Motor Corporation is a major global automotive manufacturer known for its strong manufacturing efficiency and reliable, diverse vehicle lineup. The company holds a leading position in the hybrid market, which has historically provided stable margins during the industry's gradual shift toward electrification. Its primary investment story hinges on successfully scaling its new battery-electric vehicle series and future solid-state battery technology. However, the company faces significant risks from agile pure-play EV competitors and the high costs of maintaining traditional production facilities. Toyota is generally a suitable candidate for value and dividend-oriented investors seeking defensive exposure, while developments in its electric vehicle production and battery advancements should be closely monitored.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
TM receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
TM has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-16.4%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.4%), moderate revenue growth (+5.5%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
TM's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $179.6B (0.4% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is TM's strongest growth driver at +111.5% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+5.5%, moderate) and earnings growth (-16.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 2.2% (soft) and 1474.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Fisher Asset Management, LLC 0.61%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 0.21%
FMR Inc 0.12%
The Goldman Sachs Group Inc 0.10%
Northern Trust Corp 0.09%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
TM generates approximately $167 of gross profit, $74 of operating income, and $4 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Weak margins explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 22.65%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
TM has a large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
