As Japan shifts toward strengthening its defense capabilities, U.S. firm Anduril Industries is in talks to acquire Nissan Motor's Oppama assembly plant near Tokyo, according to Reuters. Anduril plans to use the facility to build military drones, boosting its presence in Asian markets. Neither company has officially commented on the negotiations.
Nissan stock (7201.T) closed at ¥305.1 on June 23, 2026, trading between ¥303.7 and ¥321.7, per market data. The talks come as Nissan restructures after profit declines, with the plant sale part of its cost-cutting and profitability focus. The Oppama plant is a key assembly site in the Tokyo area.
Investors are watching for confirmation of the deal, which could move the stock. The low of ¥303.7 may act as technical support. Markets are also digesting Japan's June inflation data showing 1.5% on June 18, per the economic calendar, which could influence the business environment for auto and defense sectors.
