Toyota Motor Corp.

(TM), roaring back after three years of recession, recalls and natural disasters, will struggle to regain its former dominance as it grapples with improved competition worldwide.

Under Chief Executive Officer Akio Toyoda, the company’s profits are rising, it’s on pace to regain the global sales lead this year, and its $140.8 billion stock-market value is more than the next two biggest, Volkswagen AG (VOW) and Honda Motor Co., combined. Still its shares aren’t as highly valued as they were before the crises and the resurgence of once-feeble U.S. rivals.

Wow, I just read the article and no matter how you look at it CEO Akio Toyoda's two top priorities are Market Share (which equates to profit over the long run) and quality (promises to keep manufacturing,not assembling, in Japan). Even though Hyundai is a force to reckon with, Toyota will remain the Top Automaker especially as long as an heir (in this case Akio Toyoda) is at the helm. I think with the return to the fun, fast and top quality glory days, Toyota's investors will began to see stock rise again. No doubt in optimistic minds.

The Yen is over valued. If Toyota continues to manufacture in Japan but sell at US dollars, their stock won't be going up, doesn't matter if their market share increases or not.

Its ironic that Japan can no longer use the export model they created. Instead, they're being bitten in the ankles by the other two monkey see monkey do countries in Asia.
