Subaru’s quarterly profit surged 79 percent, as the automaker channeled robust U.S. sales to the bottom line for investment in electrification and other new technologies.
The upswing puts the all-wheel-drive niche player on trajectory for its best fiscal-year earnings in almost a decade as it zeroes in on a double-digit operating profit margin of 10.5 percent.
Subaru is investing heavily in a shift to electric vehicles and hybrids.
Those plans are expected to eventually include localized EV production in the U.S.
