Honda and Nissan Merger Talks in Peril

Published On Feb 5, 2025, 7:16 AM

Nissan and Honda are in stalled merger talks that aimed to create one of the largest auto groups in the world, due to disagreements over the structure of the combined entity. Honda wishes for a merger structure that gives it greater control over the holding company, which Nissan has rejected. The talks were initially positioned as a way to share costs for developing electric vehicles as both automakers face financial pressures. Currently, Nissan's share prices have declined while Honda's have increased, reflecting market uncertainties regarding the merger.
