Seems like the bottom has passed, I don't mind having missed it, caught the falling knife on a few other things. Buying TM today puts me in 20% cheaper than where I previously bought it.

P/E looks great. And, 3.3% dividend is not nothing, either.

If you really want to be in automotive now, I agree that this would be at or near the top of the list. Unlike TSLA or RACE (Ferrari), you don't really have a speculative tint or a reliance on the luxury market to worry about.

Plus, in addition to their own brand offerings, remember that Toyota has GM's old stake in Subaru through Fuji Heavy Industries (FUJHY).

I bought TM years ago, one of my best investments (not LARGE % return) but they filed the largest # of patents in automotive industry year over year and just continue to grow. Also think they will be the breaker of autonomous mass production soon.

Even though I think that peak auto has passed for now, as a (very) long term investment, I wouldn't be afraid to own TM at these levels. I just think there are better sectors to be invested in than automotive.

The one that I'm still kicking myself for missing is RACE. I looked at Ferrari from time to time when it was in the 90s and the low 100s. Then it ran like a scared cat.

Keep in mind that Toyota has been huge in China but that market will not be what IBFreeman wants.

IMO, Honda is a better company. Their portfolio is greater than autos & auto engines. I believe Toyota makes a superior car (across all brands re: Lexus) and a bit more customer loyalty but Honda has revenue streams outside of just automobiles. We can all agree to disagree about their outboards but damn they make solid small and medium engines. Not sure they manufacturer the HondaJet engines but if they do that’s pretty spectacular as well.
Financially, 8.03 PE (I think this is Q3 19 calc)
Stock down ~30% from 52 week high (Dec)
Div yield 5.22%
I’m struggling with calcs on my phone but it looks like they are sitting on a significant amount of cash. Therefore will have plenty of cash to support revenue losses and maintain its current cash burn until revenues jump back up.
