TOKYO -- A dark cloud is hanging over Nissan Motor's road to recovery, as it prepares to announce its earnings results for the April to December period of 2019 on Thursday.
The growing coronavirus epidemic in China, where the Japanese automaker earns about half its net profit, has slowed the Japanese automaker's effort to bring local plants back up to speed. Factory shutdowns in China, in turn, have disrupted Nissan's supply chain, bringing a Japanese plant to a halt as well.
