Nissan earnings collapse
Nissan announced that its profit dropped by 96 per cent, according to Automotive News. The publication reported the figure in its daily coverage on November 11, 2026. The sharp decline marks a significant deterioration in the carmaker's financial performance.
The company did not provide an immediate explanation for the profit fall in the summary provided by the outlet. Automotive News presented the figure as a key part of its daily market roundup alongside other industry developments.
Nvidia probe impacts sector view
The same Automotive News report examined what the probe of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang means for the automotive industry. The investigation has raised questions about leadership and trust within the technology supply chain that supports carmakers.
Khaleej Times reported that investor confidence relies on both technology and leadership. The publication noted that once trust in management is shaken, strong sales may not be enough to maintain market faith.
