Honda Motor is a major Japanese automaker with operations across motorcycles, automobiles, power products, and even business jets [Yahoo Finance]. The company just posted its first-ever annual loss in nearly 70 years, losing approximately $10 billion primarily due to failed electric vehicle investments [Yahoo Finance]. Despite this historic setback, Honda is pivoting to hybrids and management projects a return to profitability this year, which has driven the stock up sharply in recent weeks [Yahoo Finance].

Honda's finances are under strain with negative margins and high debt, but the core business remains profitable outside EV losses.
