President Donald Trump’s tariffs are continuing to weigh on this Japanese automotive giant, which noted billions in potential headwinds during its latest quarterly results.

The company in question is Mazda Motor Corp. (OTC:MZDAY), based in Hiroshima, which is involved in making passenger cars, trucks and mini-vehicles, along with other ancillary products.

The North American region is currently Mazda’s largest market in terms of volume, making it vulnerable to trade and tariff policies.

Shares of Mazda have seen their Growth metrics drop from 90.49 to 50.37 within the span of a week, following its fiscal second-quarter results earlier this month, when it reported steep year-over-year declines in sales and profits, which it attributes to the tariffs.

While the tariffs have been reduced, ahead of the U.S. trade deal with Japan, the company suffered an operating loss during the quarter, nonetheless, and hopes for a turnaround during the second half of this year.
