After 45 posts and one month, what is the summary of this topic? jstein55 ?
Looks like Nissan in 2019 sold 5 million vehicles. Let's assume USD20k per vehicle selling price, so this is USD100 billion per year in revenue. $100b is supported with other data sources.
$100b is alot of revenue. It's an established book of business that, if Nissan can't be profitable with it, someone else could be, on an ongoing basis. For this to happen, an investor is needed to is willing and able to operate Nissan as an ongoing concern.
A different view is that investor (private equity, for example) could purchase the business, make significant changes, and make money. Significant changes might mean selling off factories and products, and exiting unprofitable markets/geographies. Then throw in the cards (liquidate or close) the rest of it and walk away with billions in realized profits. This is capitalism, like it or not.
