Most Popular Narrative: 21% Undervalued
The most followed narrative pegs Nissan Motor’s fair value at ¥397.29 against the last close of ¥312.3. The gap hinges on whether the turnaround plan and electrified push translate into the cash flows analysts are modelling.
The ongoing global shift towards electric vehicles, strongly supported by government incentives, emissions regulations, and bans on internal combustion engines in key markets, positions Nissan to benefit from its accelerated EV product launches including the new LEAF, Micra EV, and next-gen models. This could drive potential topline revenue growth as these new offerings gain market share, especially in the U.S., Europe, and Japan.
