U.S. consumer sentiment towards auto financing remains upbeat, favoring Honda Motor Finance’s growth outlook and reinforcing bullish forecasts for Honda Motor Co. stock. Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID ) also announced it would be extending the EV credit offered on its vehicles till the end of the year, according to the company’s interim CEO Marc Winterhoff , who shared that the company had several orders and didn’t want buyers to miss out on savings during an interview with Brew Markets last month. Honda will work to establish long-term relationships with customers by offering flexible financial services tailored to the specific needs of customers in each region. Moreover, in anticipation of the global expansion of software-defined vehicle (SDV) sales in the future, Honda is looking into opportunities to offer new financial services designed to increase customer satisfaction and the value of the customer experience using various data from Honda SDVs. With such new services, Honda will further strengthen its financial services business not only in India but across the globe.  Honda Motor Finance’s securitized asset-backed securities remain attractive in fixed-income markets, yielding stable returns. This could indirectly support HMC’s stock valuation in the medium term, especially if global auto demand picks up.
