The United States and Japan reached a new trade agreement last week. While the announcement was light on details, the market-moving information included a 15% tariff rate on Japanese imports into the U.S. Japanese car manufacturers rallied swiftly on the news, as the 15% rate is far less punitive than the 27.5% rate that was scheduled to take effect on August 1.
I rate Subaru as a Hold after analyzing its capital return and financial prospects. US tariffs threaten FUJHF's earnings as evidenced by the absence of formal financial guidance; it is moving the manufacturing of its Forester model to the US and launching new models to offset the impact. The stock's forward dividend yield is appealing at 4.4%, but the lack of clarity regarding buybacks is a disappointment.
Subaru Corporation (FUJHY) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Rick DeSilva, Liberty Subaru owner, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss President Trump's 25% auto tariffs, impact on prices for new and used cars, sales outlook, and more.
I have profited from Subaru, and since my November 2024 "Buy" rating, the stock has outperformed the market. Despite facing new headwinds like declining output and sales, Subaru's valuation still presents an attractive buying opportunity - though one of the lowest ones in the sector. The market's previous undervaluation of Subaru was a key factor in its recent outperformance.
