The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Toyota’s fiscal first-quarter earnings per share has been revised upward by $1.25 to $4.68 in the past 30 days.

Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues suggests a year-over-year rise of 61.1%.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven Zacks model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Toyota this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP, and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold), increases the odds of an earnings beat. However, that is not the case here as elaborated below.
Earnings ESP: Toyota has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate is at par with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Toyota’s expanding portfolio of product lines and a robust line-up of trucks and SUVs, along with its accelerated transition to electric vehicles, is likely to have aided the auto giant’s fiscal first-quarter sales in the major markets served.
In fact, the surge in vehicle sales in Japan and outside the nation during the June-end quarter reflects this upside. This, in turn, is anticipated to have boosted the quarterly top and bottom lines.
For the quarter in discussion, vehicle sales in Japanese market summed 513,629 units, up from the 399,691 units sold in the prior-year quarter. This upside primarily resulted from robust demand of the Harrier and Yaris models in the Japanese market.
Total vehicle sales outside Japan totaled 2,245,319 vehicles during the quarter to be reported, up from the 1,447,851 units sold in the prior-year period. These increases have been driven primarily by the sales spike in North America, Europe and China.
For the April-June quarter, Toyota was the bestselling automaker in the United States, beating the perennial market leader General Motors (GM - Free Report) . The Japanese automaker posted sales of 688,813 vehicles, soaring nearly 73% on a yearly basis.
Besides, despite the thinnest of the inventories in the industry, the company’s June sales in the United States surged 39.8% year over year. Robust sales of the three-row Highlander, HEVs and Camry contributed to this upswing. Apart from these, during the month of June, the company witnessed a year-on-year rise in vehicle sales of 24.3% and 4.3% in Europe and China, respectively. This is likely to have boosted the company’s fiscal first-quarter margins.
However, the company’s elevated capital expenditure on advanced technologies and alternative fuels for the development of electric and autonomous vehicles might have dented the fiscal first-quarter margins.
