Toyota stock (TM) was up 10.15% in regular trading on November 5, 2026, as of shortly before 16:00 UTC. The carmaker raised its annual profit outlook and announced an $89 billion shareholder return plan.
What happened
Toyota lifted its forecast for the full year. The company has benefited from strong demand for its petrol-electric hybrid vehicles, particularly in the US, as fuel costs surged following the Iran war.
Alongside the upgrade, Toyota unveiled the $89 billion plan to return cash to shareholders. Companies typically return cash through dividends and share buybacks, where the company purchases its own shares.
Why the stock rose 10.2%
A move of this size is about eight times a typical day's swing for Toyota stock, which makes it highly unusual for one of the world's largest carmakers. Two details stand out. The raised outlook signals that hybrid sales are holding up as buyers look for lower fuel bills. The $89 billion return plan is equal to roughly 40% of the company's market value of about $219 billion.
