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 165500bn hit, including recall related costs and litigation settlements. He has lowered his estimate for operating profit in the financial year that starts next month to 165540bn from 165760bn, as higher profit margins in emerging markets soften the blow of recall expenses. Deutsche Securities estimates a 165290bn impact to earnings in the coming financial 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.
