Honda Cuts Profit Forecast on Weaker Demand

Honda entered the fiscal year with lower profit expectations than analysts predicted. Despite hopes for better performance, Honda cut its profit outlook by 6% due to competitive pressures in the US and China markets. The Accord's poor performance in China and aggressive competitor incentives have impacted sales. The yen's favorable movement hasn't significantly benefited Honda due to increased local production in North America. Recalls, particularly of the Fit and Vessel models in Japan, have also affected earnings, leading to executive pay cuts.
