#5 - Toyota Motors (NYSE:TM)
Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE: TM) may seem like a contrarian pick for 2025, but when you look under the hood (pun intended), there’s a growth story in the making. Specifically, at a time when the lack of an electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure is suppressing demand, consumers want alternatives.
In the last few years, Toyota has stood its ground in its belief that hybrid vehicles were a way for consumers to thread the needle between environmental concerns over internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and impractical (for now) EVs. That belief is paying off as consumers are flocking to hybrids. In its most recent quarter, Toyota reported a 122.2% increase in the number of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) sold.
That hasn’t paid off yet for shareholders. TM stock is down 3% in 2024, but it’s down more than 30% from its 52-week high set earlier in the year. Investors are rightly concerned about the potential impact on the company’s revenue due to tariffs. But at a time when consumers will continue to look for new vehicles, Toyota may be a value hiding in plain sight.
