Part 4/5:
Nissan has recently shown reluctance to become a subsidiary of Honda, which contradicts the initial vision of an equal partnership between the two giants. This hesitance has raised alarms at Honda, particularly amid concerns regarding Nissan’s financial health, which is currently grappling with significant restructuring challenges that include job cuts.
These uncertainties have already begun to impact the stock market; Nissan's shares dropped over 4% this week, while Honda's jumped by more than 88%, highlighting the volatility resulting from the ongoing negotiations.
