YOKOHAMA, Japan: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd today launched The Arc, its new business plan to generate value and strengthen competitiveness. The plan focuses on a broad product offensive, increased electrification, new approaches to engineering and production, adoption of new technologies and the use of strategic partnerships to increase global unit sales and improve profitability.
The plan is positioned as a bridge between Nissan NEXT’s business transformation plan, which runs from fiscal year 2020 through fiscal year 2023 and Nissan Ambition 2030, the company’s long-term vision. The new plan is divided into medium-term imperatives for fiscal years 2024 to 2026 and medium-long-term actions to be carried out until 2030.
Nissan President and CEO Makoto Uchida said: “The Arc plan shows our path to the future. It illustrates our continued progression and ability to navigate changing market conditions. This plan will allow us to go further and faster in promoting value and competitiveness. Faced with extreme market volatility, Nissan is taking decisive action guided by the new plan to ensure sustainable growth and profitability.”
Under the two-part plan, Nissan will first take steps to ensure volume growth through a tailored regional strategy and prepare for an accelerated transition to EVs, supported by a balanced portfolio of electrified/ICE products, growth of volume in the main markets and financial discipline. Through these initiatives, Nissan aims to increase annual sales by 1 million units and increase its operating profit margin to more than 6%, both by the end of fiscal 2026. This will pave the way for the second part of the plan that aims to enable the Transition to electric vehicles and achieve long-term profitable growth, supported by smart partnerships, greater competitiveness of electric vehicles, differentiated innovations and new revenue streams. By fiscal 2030, Nissan forecasts potential revenue of 2.5 trillion yen from new business opportunities.
Balanced product portfolio
Nissan plans to launch 30 new models over the next three years, of which 16 will be electrified and 14 will be ICE models, to meet the diverse needs of customers in markets where the pace of electrification differs. Nissan plans to launch a total of 34 electrified models from fiscal 2024 and 2030 to cover all segments, with the electrified vehicle model mix expected to represent 40% globally by fiscal 2026 and increase to 60 % by the end of the decade.
Ensure market growth through a personalized regional strategy
In key regions and markets, Nissan shares through fiscal 2026 (unless otherwise noted) include:
Americas:

EV Competitiveness
The product offensive will be supported by new development and production approaches aimed at making EVs more affordable and increasing profitability. By developing electric vehicles in families, integrating powertrains, using next-generation modular production, group supply and battery innovations, Nissan aims to reduce the cost of next-generation electric vehicles by 30% (when compared to the current crossover model Ariya) and achieve cost-parity between EVs and ICE models by fiscal year 2030.
In the area of family development alone, the cost of follow-on vehicles – those developed based on the main family vehicle – can be reduced by 50%, variation in trim parts reduced by 70%, and development time reduced by four months. By adopting modular manufacturing, the vehicle production line will be shortened, reducing production time per vehicle by 20%.
According to the Arc plan, more factories in Japan and abroad will adopt the Nissan Smart Factory concept, with the Oppama and Nissan Motor Kyushu plants in Japan, the Sunderland plant in the UK, and the Canton and Smyrna plants in the US beginning adoption of fiscal year 2026 to 2030. Meanwhile, the EV36Zero The production approach will be extended from Sunderland in the UK to factories including Canton, Decherd and Smyrna in the US and Tochigi and Kyushu in Japan from fiscal 2025 to 2028.
New technologies
The plan includes proposals to accelerate the evolution of vehicle intelligence technologies, such as the next-generation ProPILOT driver assistance system, which implements door-to-door autonomous driving technology, on and off the road, in private facilities and parking lots.
Nissan will offer enhanced lithium-ion batteries NCM, LFP and all solid-state batteries to provide diversified electric vehicles to meet different customer needs. Nissan will significantly improve NCM lithium-ion batteries, reducing fast charging time by 50% and increasing energy density by 50% compared to the Ariya. LFP batteries will be launched, to be developed and produced in Japan, which will reduce the cost by 30% compared to the Sakura EV mini vehicle. New EVs with improved NCM lithium-ion batteries, LFP and full solid-state batteries will be launched in fiscal 2028.
Strategic partnerships
Nissan will leverage strategic partnerships to remain competitive and offer a global portfolio of products and technology. Nissan will continue to leverage the alliance with Renault and Mitsubishi Motors in Europe, LATAM, ASEAN and India. In China, Nissan will fully utilize its local assets to meet the needs of China and other countries; and explore new partnerships in Japan and the U.S. Batteries will be developed and acquired with partners to bring 135 gigawatt hours of global capacity.
Financial discipline to deliver resilient, profitable performance
The basis of the plan is firm financial discipline, allowing for a stable ratio of CAPEX and R&D investment versus net revenue of between 7% and 8%, excluding investment in battery capacity. Additionally, Nissan plans to invest more than 400 billion yen in battery capacity. Meanwhile, investment in electrification will increase progressively, exceeding 70% by fiscal year 2026.
The management of these investments aims to enable the delivery of benefits to all interested parties, with Nissan maintaining a positive free cash flow before mergers and acquisitions – even after investments in electrification. This aims to guarantee a total shareholder return of more than 30%. Nissan aims to maintain net cash at a healthy level of 1 trillion yen during the Arc plan period.
“Under this comprehensive plan, we will improve Nissan’s competitiveness and achieve sustainable profitability,” added Uchida. “Nissan is confident it has everything it takes to properly execute this plan, which will provide us with the solid foundation we need to build our Nissan Ambition 2030 vision.”

Trump shooting: Gold could hit record high, dollar and cryptocurrencies set to jump
Police cars outside the residence of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspected shooter at a Trump rally on Saturday, investigate the area in Pennsylvania. Following the incident, one rally attendee was killed, two rally attendees are in critical condition and Donald Trump suffered a non-fatal gunshot wound.

Investors will initially favor traditional safe-haven assets and may lean toward trades more closely tied to former President Donald Trump’s chances of winning the White House after he survived an assassination attempt, according to market watchers.
“There will undoubtedly be some protectionist or safe-haven flows into Asia early this morning,” said Nick Twidale, chief market analyst at ATFX Global Markets. “I suspect gold could test all-time highs, we’ll see the yen being bought and the dollar, and flows into Treasuries as well.”
Early market commentary suggested Trump’s shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday could also prompt traders to increase his likelihood of success in the November election. His support for looser fiscal policy and higher tariffs is generally seen as likely to benefit the dollar and weaken Treasuries.
An indicator of market sentiment heading into the weekend: Bitcoin surged above $60,000, likely reflecting Trump’s pro-crypto stance.
Other assets positively linked to the so-called Trump trade include stocks of energy companies, private prisons, credit card companies and health insurers.
Traders will also be closely watching market measures of expected volatility on Monday, such as those in the tariff-sensitive Chinese yuan and Mexican peso, which have begun to price in the U.S. vote.
Trump said he was shot in the right ear after a shooting at his rally. His campaign said in a statement that he was “fine” after the incident, which prompted him to rush off the stage.
“Currencies will be the first major market on Monday in Asia to react to the weekend’s shots. There’s potential for extra volatility, and getting a clear reading could be especially difficult because liquidity will be hurt by Japan’s national holiday,” said Garfield Reynolds, Asia team leader for Bloomberg Markets Live.
Strategists had already expected a volatile run-up to the election, particularly as Democrats are still agonizing over President Joe Biden’s candidacy after his poor performance in last month’s debate raised questions about his age. Investors were also grappling with the possibility that the election could end in a drawn-out dispute or political violence.
But there is little precedent for events like those in Pennsylvania. When President Ronald Reagan was shot four decades ago, the stock market plunged before closing early. The next day, March 31, 1981, the S&P 500 rose more than 1% and benchmark 10-year Treasury yields fell 9 basis points to 13.13%, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Bond investors should pay particular attention as the attack is likely to boost Trump’s election chances and ultimately lead to concerns about the fiscal outlook, according to Marko Papic, chief strategist at California-based BCA Research Inc.
“The bond market must at some point become aware of President Trump’s greater chances of winning the White House than any of his rivals,” Papic wrote. “And I continue to believe that as his chances increase, so too must the likelihood of a bond market revolt.”
Kyle Rodda, senior financial markets analyst at Capital.com, said he was seeing client flows into Bitcoin and gold following the shooting.
“This news marks a turning point in American policy norms,” he said. “For markets, it means safe-haven trades, but more tilted toward non-traditional safe-havens.”

Jio Financial Services News
Speaking on the Jio Financial Services Q1 2024 results, Manish Chowdhury, Head of Research, StoxBox, said, “We believe Jio Financial Services is poised to deliver impressive results in Q1FY25 aided by its operating income, which is likely to show robust growth driven by strong investment income, which in turn should lead to healthy PAT growth on a sequential basis. Jio Financial Services continues to make strategic moves such as launching digital products and expanding its ecosystem, with a clear focus on future growth. The company has announced plans to introduce products for lending against stocks and mutual funds, leveraging Jio’s large user base, which could be a significant growth driver in the coming quarters.”
“Furthermore, with the NBFC receiving RBI approval to become a primary investment company, Jio Financial Services is well-positioned to unlock value from its investments. Overall, we expect the company to report robust numbers in the upcoming quarter,” the StoxBox expert added.
Jio Financial Stock Target Price
Speaking about the technical outlook of Jio Financial share price, Ganesh Dongre, Senior Manager, Technical Research at Anand Rathi, said, “Jio Financial Services share price is poised to make a fresh high at the ₹260 apiece level.

Hence, those with Jio Finance stock in their portfolio are advised to stick to the script by keeping a stop loss at ₹205. If the stock breaks above ₹260 decisively, then one can upgrade the stop loss at ₹240 for the near-term target of ₹295.”
