Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:TM) is one of the Most Undervalued Stocks to Buy Right Now. On November 27, Reuters, while quoting Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:TM), highlighted that the company’s global production increased for the 5th consecutive month in October, thanks to the robust US demand for hybrid vehicles, mitigating the weaker sales in Japan and China. Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:TM)’s global output increased by 4% YoY to 926,987 cars, with worldwide sales increasing by 2% to 922,087 vehicles.

In the US, which is the top market, production went up by 26% for October 2025, showcasing its 5th straight double-digit rise, added Reuters. This was aided by strong hybrid demand and recovery of output from the previous year’s production stoppage of 2 models. In China, production fell by 6%, with sales dropping 7%. This was because of the end of subsidy programmes in some regions. Notably, output in Japan increased by 7%, but sales declined 4%.

In a different development, Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:TM) announced an additional investment of up to US$10 billion in the US over the upcoming 5 years, bringing the company’s total US investment to ~US$60 billion since it began operations in the US. Additionally, the company held an opening ceremony for Toyota Battery Manufacturing, North Carolina (TBMNC). This is the company’s 11th manufacturing facility in the US, reflecting an investment of ~$14 billion.
