Toyota expects a whopping $9.5 billion hit from tariffs this year

$9.5 billion

8/7/25

The world’s top-selling automaker, Toyota, said it expects President Trump’s tariffs to cost it about $9.5 billion in its fiscal year ending in March.

According to Toyota, the massive sum — the biggest estimate by any company thus far — accounts for supplier fallout, too. Toyota’s US rival GM has forecast a tariff impact of up to $5 billion.

“It’s honestly very difficult for us to predict what will happen regarding the market environment,” Toyota’s head of finance said in a briefing.

Toyota said the tariff hit in its fiscal first quarter, which ended in June, was about $3.05 billion. Toyota slashed its full-year operating profit guidance by about $4.1 billion, or nearly 16%.

Fox and News Corp slide as investors digest $3.3 billion Murdoch succession settlement

Fox and News Corp shares dropped on Tuesday after Rupert Murdoch’s heirs agreed to a $3.3 billion settlement to resolve a long-running succession drama.

Under the deal, Prudence, Elisabeth, and James Murdoch will each receive about $1.1 billion, paid for in part by Fox selling 16.9 million Class B voting shares and News Corp selling 14.2 million shares. The stock sales will raise roughly $1.37 billion on behalf of the three heirs.

The new trust for Lachlan Murdoch will now control about 36.2% of Fox’s Class B shares and roughly 33.1% of News Corp’s stock, granting him uncontested voting authority over both companies for the next 25 years. Originally, the Murdoch trust was designed to hand over voting control of Fox and News Corp to Prudence, Elisabeth, Lachlan, and James after his death.

Investors are weighing the trade-off. Clear leadership under Lachlan may resolve conflict internally, but the share dilution, executed at a roughly 4.5% discount, means long-term investors now hold slightly less clout than before.

Both companies’ stocks were trading close to all-time highs prior to the announcement.

Boeing on Tuesday announced that it delivered 57 commercial jets in August, its best total for the month in seven years. That brings its year-to-date delivery total to 385 planes, eclipsing its full-year 2024 figure by about 11%.

The August figure marked Boeing’s second-highest delivery total of 2025 and represented a 43% jump from the same month last year. Through August, Boeing has boosted its deliveries by 50% from last year.

The plane maker is still trailing its European rival Airbus, which delivered 61 planes in August and 434 year to date.
