As the 10th anniversary of Nissan Motor's investment in Mitsubishi Motors approaches, the alliance between the two Japanese automakers faces uncertainty. Since Nissan's initial investment in October 2016, Mitsubishi Motors' market capitalization has dropped by approximately 40%. With the end of the lockup period for Nissan's stake, market observers are speculating about the possibility of Nissan divesting its shares. This potential move could open opportunities for other companies, such as Honda or Foxconn, to enter as new capital partners. The developments mark a pivotal moment for the Mitsubishi Motors-Nissan relationship, which has yielded limited progress over the past decade.
