Nissan Reportedly Weighing CEO Replacement Following Merger Collapse

The automaker is said to be evaluating leadership changes after failed Honda merger talks and worsening financial performance.

Nissan is reportedly considering replacing CEO Makoto Uchida after the collapse of merger discussions with Honda and continued financial struggles.
Sources indicate that the automaker's board is exploring potential candidates to succeed Uchida, though no official announcements have been made.
Uchida, who has been CEO since 2019, has faced challenges turning around the company, which is expected to post an ¥80 billion loss for the fiscal year ending in March.
The proposed $60 billion merger with Honda failed earlier this month, reportedly due to disagreements over Honda's push to make Nissan a subsidiary.
Nissan is also expected to announce a broader restructuring of its executive team on March 12, though Uchida's involvement in this reshuffle remains uncertain.
