Company Of The Day: Toyota

What?

Toyota (NYSE:TM) , the world’s largest car manufacturer by volume, is likely to cut global production in September by 40% from its previous plan due to a shortage in semiconductors.

Why?

Although Toyota weathered the initial impacts of the semiconductor supply crunch fairly well, the current resurgence of Covid-19 in Asia appears to be resulting in supplier disruptions for key components.

So What?

While the company maintained its annual sales and production targets, the cuts serve as a reminder that even Toyota, which is one of the best supply chain managers, remains vulnerable to disruption through Covid-19. Toyota stock declined by over 6% over the last two trading days.
