Separately, Jefferies also expressed confidence in Safran, raising its price target to <strong>\u20ac360<\/strong> from \u20ac350 on the same date, citing a stronger-than-expected earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi)<\/strong> faced considerable selling pressure, closing at <strong>5,897.74<\/strong> on October 27, 2025, representing a <strong>1.5%<\/strong> decline. This marks the index&#39;s lowest point since April 8, 2025. Earlier in the month, on October 24, the PSEi had already dipped to 5,988.02, down 1.09%, influenced by a weaker peso and concerns over the country&#39;s fiscal health. The index also closed at 6,000.32 on October 7, down 1.78%, amid investor caution ahead of inflation data.<\/p>\n<p>Recent headlines indicate a strong performance for <strong>Toyota Motor Corporation<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/TM\">TM<\/a>) in September 2025. The automaker reportedly sold <strong>879,314 vehicles globally<\/strong>, a <strong>3.1% increase<\/strong> from the previous year. Global vehicle output for September also saw a significant rise of <strong>11.1% year-over-year<\/strong>, reaching <strong>918,146 units<\/strong>. This growth was supported by an <strong>8.5% increase<\/strong> in vehicles produced in Japan, totaling <strong>301,626 units<\/strong>, and a <strong>12.4% surge<\/strong> in overseas production to <strong>616,520 vehicles<\/strong>.
