Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is a Japanese automaker selling vehicles under the Nissan and Infiniti brands globally, employing 132,790 people [Yahoo Finance]. The company is in severe financial distress with negative profit margins, massive negative free cash flow of -$889.8B, and a health score of just 1.6/10 [Yahoo Finance]. Recent news focuses on Nissan exploring cheaper EV production in China for export to Canada, reflecting cost pressures and a strategic retreat from expensive North American manufacturing [GuruFocus] [Yahoo Finance].
