Despite experiencing an 8.6% decline in sales when compared to the same time last year, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) still dominates the segment, boasting a 43.5% share in sales.

Shares of auto-related stocks are trading lower as global markets continue to decline following President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) said it launched a new frontier in its technological journey by <a target="_blank" href="https://global.honda/en/topics/2025/c_2025-04-04beng.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">forming </a>a Space Development Division under American Honda in late 2024.
The move represents the company's growing investment in space-related technology, aiming to deepen its partnership with the U.S. aerospace sector and expand its footprint in space innovation.
Honda R&amp;D Co., Ltd., which opened its Space Strategy Office in 2023, is supporting this initiative through research and technical development.
Together, U.S. and Japanese teams are working to adapt Honda's engineering expertise to support future exploration and sustainable activity on the Moon's surface.
At the core of Honda's space effort is its high-differential pressure water electrolysis system, a technology designed to produce hydrogen and oxygen in space.

The system prioritizes durability and minimal maintenance, making it ideal for lunar missions. Honda is preparing to validate the technology aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to determine how it performs in microgravity conditions.
To carry out the ISS mission, Honda has teamed up with U.S. based space companies, Sierra Space and Tec-Masters. Sierra Space will serve as the mission integrator, managing delivery to the ISS using its Dream Chaser spaceplane, while Tec-Masters will handle the technical oversight of the system in space.
Honda envisions its electrolysis system as part of a broader circulative renewable energy platform for sustaining life on the Moon. The regenerative fuel cell system will use solar energy during the lunar day to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
At night, hydrogen will be recombined with oxygen to generate electricity, producing only water as a byproduct. This water is then reused, creating a self-sustaining energy loop similar to Earth-based solar power setups.
Honda began its U.S. journey in 1959 with the establishment of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Today, the company has a workforce of more than 30,000 employees across the country, contributing to the design, production, sales, and service of Honda and Acura vehicles, Honda power equipment, powersports and marine offerings, as well as the advanced HondaJet light aircraft.
Price Action: HMC shares traded lower by 5.14% at $24.99 at last check Friday.

Auto stocks hit a speed bump after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">President Donald Trump</a> brushed off concerns over higher car prices following his announcement of new 25% tariffs on foreign imports.
Shares of Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), Honda Motor Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>), Nissan Motor Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#NYSE">NSANY</a>), Volkswagen AG (OTCPK: VWAGY) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) slid on investor concerns over the impact on global supply chains and consumer demand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Tariff Play</h2>
Trump's weekend interview with NBC News only added fuel to the fire, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/auto-stocks-fall-after-trump-says-he-couldnt-care-less-about-higher-prices-21cd7c16">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal. When asked if foreign automakers hiking prices would hurt U.S. consumers, he dismissed the concern outright. "I couldn't care less."
The logic? If foreign cars get more expensive, Americans will buy domestic. That stance sent ripples through the markets, with Asian and European automakers posting sharp declines.
In Japan, Toyota dropped 3.1%, Honda fell 3.1%, and Nissan tumbled 4%. South Korea's Hyundai slipped 3.8%; in Europe, Stellantis lost 2.8%, Volkswagen declined 3.1%, and Mercedes-Benz slid 2.6%. Even Ferrari NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>) felt the heat, dropping 1.7% despite plans to hike prices by up to 10% to offset tariffs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is This A Buying Opportunity?</h2>
Auto stocks have been in reverse all year, and technical indicators don't offer much encouragement. Toyota&#8217;s stock is flashing strong bearish signals, trading below its 5-, 20-, 50- and 200-day moving averages. The same goes for Honda and Stellantis stocks, both caught in a downtrend and facing selling pressure.
Even Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock, often seen as insulated from traditional automaker woes, is down over 30% YTD. But unlike its global peers, Tesla has found some support, sitting slightly above its eight and 20-day moving averages—a rare bullish signal amid the carnage.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead</h2>
With tariffs kicking in on April 2, the next few weeks could be bumpy for auto stocks. If global carmakers pass the costs to consumers, demand could take a hit, further pressuring share prices.
However, investors with a long-term view might find bargains in the wreckage, particularly among companies able to navigate price adjustments without losing market share.
For now, auto stocks remain in the danger zone. But contrarians might find value under the hood if prices fall much further.

Auto Stocks Skid After Trump Shrugs Off Higher Prices - Should You Buy The Dip?

President Donald Trump remains undeterred in the face of potential price hikes in the auto industry in response to his new tariffs on foreign-made vehicles.
What Happened: On Saturday, Trump refuted claims that he had advised auto industry leaders against price increases in response to the new tariffs. Instead, he reaffirmed his decision to raise tariffs in an effort to boost American manufacturing.
&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t&nbsp;care less if they raise&nbsp;prices, because people are going&nbsp;to start buying American-made cars,&#8221; Trump stated&nbsp;in an interview <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-says-couldnt-care-less-automakers-raise-prices-tariffs-rcna198731">with</a> NBC&nbsp;News. He further expressed his anticipation for price increases, which he believes will steer consumers towards American-made vehicles.
Earlier this week, Trump declared a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars and auto parts, set to take effect from April 2. Countries such as Germany, Japan, and South Korea are predicted to be most affected by these tariffs.

Trump confirmed these import policies are here to stay. &#8220;The world has been ripping&nbsp;off the United States for&nbsp;the last 40 years and&nbsp;more,&#8221; he declared. &#8220;And all we&#8217;re&nbsp;doing is being fair, and&nbsp;frankly, I&#8217;m being very generous.&#8221;
According to reports, if&nbsp;the tariffs are fully passed&nbsp;onto consumers, the average price of an imported vehicle could spike by $12,500. This could potentially fuel overall inflation. However, Trump pointed out that countries with &#8220;great value&#8221; resources might have room to negotiate lower prices.
Despite some resistance from lawmakers, Trump is convinced that this move will bring long-term benefits for the U.S. This announcement has already triggered significant investments in American plants by foreign companies, including&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>),&nbsp;Honda Motor Co., Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>), and&nbsp;Hyundai Motor Company&nbsp;(KRX: 005380).
Why It Matters: This decision by the President could reshape the auto industry, potentially leading to a shift in consumer behavior towards American-made vehicles. 
The move has already sparked investments from foreign companies in American manufacturing plants, indicating a possible boost to the domestic auto industry. 
However, the potential price hike and its impact on inflation will be a key factor to watch in the coming months.

Trump Unfazed by Potential Auto Price Hikes Amid New Tariffs: 'I Couldn't Care Less'

Shares of auto-related stocks are trading lower after President Trump said he will introduce new tariffs on auto and auto parts imports.

Honda Motor Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.06% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.53 million shares sold short, which is 0.31% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.63 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Honda Motor Co Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743093020_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Honda Motor Co has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Honda Motor Co's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Honda Motor Co's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.64%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Looking Into Honda Motor Co's Recent Short Interest

NBA legend <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a> once famously said, "Republicans buy sneakers too," emphasizing his choice to steer clear of politics while his iconic shoes propelled Nike to the pinnacle of sports retail.
That&#8217;s advice Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shareholders may wish the company&#8217;s CEO, Elon Musk, had taken to heart. Shares are down more than 32% this year, as Musk&#8217;s heavy involvement with the new administration has cratered Tesla&#8217;s electric vehicle (EV) sales.
Tesla sales are down 40% in Europe compared to last year, even as total EV sales soared by 26%. The picture is only slightly rosier in the U.S., with Tesla sales down 11% in January. In China, the world&#8217;s largest market for electric vehicles, Tesla has been overtaken by a domestic rival for the first time.
But all this bad news for Tesla has been great news for other EV makers.&nbsp;
Here are four non-Tesla EV stocks set to profit from soaring EV sales.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BYD Company Ltd. </h2>
News of BYD Company's (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) battery breakthrough earlier this month sent the stock to new all-time highs. BYD's new Super-E platform promises to provide a range of 249 miles with a simple five-minute charge, easing a major customer concern. However, investors with keen eyes have had BYD on their radar for a while, as the stock has risen 88% in the last 12 months (including a 43% rip over the previous three). As mentioned above, the company is now outselling Tesla in China, and the government has been providing very accommodating policies.  
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfM2z7gHUuogWEKJa-lAi6iBZUGWj6awqkR3voSSyh2u9u4VbaTd-TlfODhmSI9rOMXKap_zYq3xpbpqHgRJ4CCYDl_yfrZPu1XbxKdKbIQtrwV9k9eZqBg4DTk9Lbm3VT4rS5riw?key=Ru_TemLXG7pg9xP89RkSNslp" alt="" /></figure>
BYD is a conglomerate with several divisions. BYD Auto is the most well-known, thanks to its electric and hybrid vehicles and battery charging solutions. Still, the company also has BYD Electronics and FinDream, which manufacture electronic parts, vehicle components and batteries. The automotive division brings in 80% of the company's revenue. The stock trades at 32 times earnings, far cheaper than TSLA, and the chart shows signs of the uptrend continuing. The share price is firmly above both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that the upside momentum remains intact.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Volkswagen AG </h2>
The German automotive giant, Volkswagen Ag (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) is finally showing signs of breaking out of a multi-year downtrend. Tesla's losses in Europe have been Volkswagen's gains as registration numbers are skyrocketing for several of the firm's vehicles, including the newest top-selling European battery-powered EV: the Volkswagen ID.4. The Volkswagen ID.7 had the third most number of registrations to start the year, an upswing of more than 650%. On the plug-in hybrid side, the Volkswagen Tiguan is the second-highest-selling model in 2025, with an upstick of 250% over the previous period in 2024.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfYQknuvziPa7-p8xwVvZ-xuCgD8wDNXevExx1y2ZaRxvnZgDIRgmwpaWw2WDXEhxzM0YT4qNY9PA1VVi9-EsovSNcvzWl8G3q1W4VZEWTh68xkyfvzTbaZfZMefm8FbB-pcArUhg?key=Ru_TemLXG7pg9xP89RkSNslp" alt="" /></figure>
Volkswagen stock is down more than 25% in the last 12 months, but momentum is beginning to turn. Shares are up over 20% year-to-date, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), a momentum indicator, is starting to send bullish signals. VWAGY trades at just 4.8 times earnings and pays a healthy 8% dividend yield. And let's not forget the stimulus set to be unleashed in Germany, some of which will surely find its way to automakers like Volkswagen.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Toyota Motors Corp. </h2>
Toyota Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) is the world&#8217;s largest automaker, with a market cap above $251 billion and an annual revenue of about $309 billion. Toyota is choosing to focus on plug-in hybrids over full-battery electric cars, and the RAV4 SUV is a top choice for customers looking for a mix of electric and gas power.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXevHa0rGDdutIcd7zGUpjsCGBSwfOmIZ7LA4i7xQFaZdN3xbxyTQ-gNNd_iqhl6YL-JXt01MIbQuT6A_d0VzjjjPMH-EMdTEV0OXGCIpLyQOAaTPcauHCBe-Jyj6d3XehY0bbHjHg?key=Ru_TemLXG7pg9xP89RkSNslp" alt="" /></figure>
Toyota controls more than 10% of the world's automobile market share, giving it a tremendous opportunity to eat into Tesla's EV sales. The company already has high margins, reporting a 20.32% gross margin rate and a 10.86% profit margin rate in the most recent quarter. The stock has a forward Price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.80 and a Price-to-sales (P/S) rate of 0.86, implying this $250 billion behemoth is undervalued. Additionally, the stock pays a 3.5% dividend yield and scored a 97.95 in Value and 98.51 in Quality on Benzinga Edge rankings, indicating both short- and medium-term upside. Another bullish signal was triggered recently as the stock price breached the 50-day moving average after nearly a year of trading below it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Honda Motor Co Ltd. </h2>
Honda Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) may not dominate the automobile market share like Toyota. Still, the Tokyo-based manufacturer is known for its highly reliable and safe vehicles, such as the popular Honda Accord and Civic sedan models. The company also has several hybrids and electric cars on its line, including the plug-in versions of the Accord, Civi, and CR-V, a fully electric Honda Prologue, and the fuel cell-powered CR-V e-FCEV.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdNNi5Exlsi5hp2HlXYjcS4rrE5aHGSxDmL4IvduKM6rCtkNdsKWQfGrWCI3VDWK8NsR6pZdo-srsIvFIRhbDAs_JeuTj0NiJqN45Hw3fHf4jF0Dxv6bTk-5iL64kFy-gPzr25d?key=Ru_TemLXG7pg9xP89RkSNslp" alt="" /></figure>
HMC scores a 99.67 in Value and 98.67 in Quality on Benzinga Edge; it trades at just 6.6 times forward earnings and 0.32 times sales. And while a 4.8% profit margin is something Tesla would scoff at, it's still a fair number for an automobile manufacturer. The stock hit a multi-year bottom in December 2024 but has since recovered from under $23 to over $30 to start 2025. Like Toyota, this stock is hovering near its 50-day moving average, which had previously acted as a resistance level. Toyota broke through this resistance. Keep tracking Honda to see if its stock does the same.
