TOKYO, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp is likely to more than double its full-year operating profit forecast when it reports first-half earnings on Friday, the Mainichi daily reported, citing a strong recovery in vehicle sales in the United States and China.
Japan’s top automaker is likely to project an operating profit of more than 1 trillion yen ($9.66 billion) for the year to March 31, 2021, from the 500 billion yen projected in August, the Mainichi said, without citing sources.
