Toyota stock pops after electric Hilux reveal; yen and tariff risk back in focus

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 14:34 EST — Market closed Toyota Motor Corp’s U.S.-listed shares (TM) ended Friday up 3.2%, closing at $221.52. After hours, the ADR dipped 1.1% to $219.10. This change is notable because Toyota shares have begun acting like a stand-in for currency bets again.
