Toyota shares gain for second day after report on ROE target
Published On Dec 26, 2024, 1:53 AM
Toyota shares rose significantly, marking their largest two-day gain since August, following news that the company aims to double its return on equity (ROE) target to 20%. This increase was driven by expectations that Toyota will enhance its profitability and return more value to shareholders via dividends or buybacks. Currently, Toyota's stock has increased over 20% this year, outperforming the broader market. However, there's caution as global sales stagnated in November.
