Analysts with their own estimates say the total is bound to climb higher. JP Morgan's Kohei Takahashi expects Toyota to take a one time 500 billion yen ($5.5 billion) hit, including recall related costs and litigation settlements. He has lowered his estimate for operating profit next fiscal year starting April to 540 billion yen ($5.9 billion) from 760 billion yen, as higher profit margins in emerging markets soften the blow of recall expenses. Deutsche Securities estimates a 290 billion yen ($3.2 billion) impact to earnings in the coming fiscal year, though analyst Kurt Sanger acknowledges that any attempt to quantify the impact involves an almost certain degree of error. "We expect Toyota to respond aggressively to win back much of its lost market share, but it will come at a cost," he said in a recent report.
