Japanese automaker Nissan has shown signs of struggle lately this year. It recently reported that it expects to post a record net loss of between £3.69 billion and £3.95 billion ($4.91 billion to $5.26 billion) for the financial year ending in March, citing impairment charges tied to its ongoing restructuring efforts amid continued struggles. Said struggles follow the recent postponement of the Nissan-Honda merger, with the former refusing to be a subsidiary of one of its strongest competitors on a grander, global scale.
