## What this report covers

MarketCheck Compass data on new and used Honda and Acura retail sales and dealer inventory in North America (US and Canada; the US accounts for 91.3% of the new vehicles sold measured here). Honda's fiscal second quarter (Q2 FY2027) covers July 1 – September 30, 2026, the same window as calendar Q3 2026. What we cannot see: motorcycles (Honda's largest profit engine), financial services, Japan, China and the rest of Asia, production and wholesale shipments, factory incentive spending, tariff costs, currency effects, raw-material costs, and the electric-vehicle supplier-compensation charges management has guided for fiscal 2027. Honda reports consolidated global results in yen and publishes no U.S. retail unit, price or inventory detail, so its print can confirm our direction and thesis but not our specific figures. Treat this report as one tile in the investment mosaic.
