The American Depository Receipts (ADRs) of Toyota Motor (TM) stock have fallen 30% from their 52-week high as the difficult sales environment in the U.S. took a toll on the company’s fiscal 2007—which ended in March. The company modestly missed its own guidance for total vehicle sales for the year (it had projected sales of 8.93 million units and actually sold 8.913 million). Not only was the sluggish U.S. economy a problem, the stronger yen and inflation in raw materials played havoc with the final numbers. 

2008 appears to offer much of the same for Toyota, which is on the cusp of overtaki

Toyoya Motors is a fundamentally stong company and if you want to do  trade in the automobile sector, this should be on the top of your list.
Having said that, things may not work well for them in the short term. With the oil price soaring high and a weakening dollar, TM may see a drop in their profits.
The bottom line is for the long term investors TM is a "must have" in their portfolios.

Battle of the Brands: Toyota vs. Honda Graphic_rating_buy TM
-13.82%
in 127 days
4/29 - "For two companies with similar backgrounds, Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE: TM) and Honda Motor Co. (NYSE: HMC) have grown markedly different. Toyota has taken a vertical approach to become arguably the world's premier brand in combining high volume sales with high-quality products. Honda has taken a much more horizontal route, dipping its feet successfully into a wide range of products." "In 2007 Toyota passed Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) as the world's second largest auto manufacturer. However, some question whether this victory came at the sacrifice of quality...Honda's horizontal approac...

The Prius has been gobling up market share in the affordable car market for tha last several years.

In the city of Berkeley we have sold more Prius cars than any location in the United States until this most recent year.

This last year the only reason why we havent sold more is the same reason we havent sold more in previous years, every single car made available is sold.

Berkeley used to be the only location issued a large number of cars for sale, and now other locations have been afforded that ability.

When demand exceeds supply prices rise.

Toyota is making nice looking, good quality, cheap, environmentally friendly cars and they have Diesel and 4wd know-how. They have a 10 year head-start with hybrids. The stock price has a P/E of 10. I think it should be closer to 15, or the same as Volkswagen - which is 20+.

Toyota not that great - only makes a small number of electric cars (which still pollute), other companies also make them (Honda) and the company is also going to get hit due to declining sales from credit crunch Graphic_rating_sell TM

Toyota is a large automotive manufacturer who often get people to buy their cars mainly by either using refi loans or (relatively) high interest auto loans.  Since the cost of borrowing capital is going to be higher, are sales not going to be hit hard? Has it not gone unnoticed that other, newer companies like Kia Motors are taking away Toyota's market share, just like Toyota took the American Big Three's market share in the 70's.  Has it not gone unnoticed that the share price has sank 20% in the last 12mths?

I am also sceptical of Toyota's insistence on squandering so much money on...

Ok, since I don't have time to actually pull up a chart and draw it up for everyone.... check out the daily chart on this thing.

I'm getting a bit ahead since, technically, the stock hasn't broken out through the neckline.  I think it's a long above 126.00 on volume above 1.00-1.50 million.  If that 126.00 turns out to be another resistance - I'd wait.

Also, fundamentally - weaking Yen vs. dollar... definitely good for TM.  The dollar looks overdone on the short side.

Tokyo The New Detroit? Graphic_rating_buy TM

It was recently announced that for the first time in over 50 years, a non-U.S. manufacturer was the top maker of cars of trucks. Toyota now claims top honors.

With the advent of well-built, fuel-efficient vehicles, it appears that Asian manufactures now have the pulse of U.S. consumers. With the full line of both small and full-sized vehicles, as well as rapidly rising demand for their Prius hybrid, I believe we will continue to see the share price on TM rise. Obviously, this a very blue-chip play for a more conservative investor.

At this point, the primary risk U.S. investors...

Toyota and Maybe Subaru? Graphic_rating_buy TM

Toyota (NYSE:TM) may benefit from a subtle change in Japanese domestic anti trust regulations. At this point Japanese regulators prohibit any one entity from controlling more than 50% of the domestic market. Starting in April autoblog reports that the regulation will be changed from domestic to international market share.

How Japanese regulators plan to impose their will on non Japanese activities remains to be seen. But this new influence may explain some convoluted behaviour on the part of Japanese manufacturers.

In the meantime it has been suggested that Toyota will buy Subaru. In ...

Toyota is one of best run company manufacturing and auto industry.
