TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s Honda Motor said on Friday its fourth-quarter operating profit grew more than six fold from a year earlier, helped by a weak yen and strong vehicle sales.
Japan’s second-biggest automaker by volume saw quarterly operating profit come in at 305.6 billion yen ($1.96 billion), versus an average estimate of 248.3 billion yen in a poll of nine analysts by LSEG.
