Shares of Toyota Motor Corp. rose in the U.S. and Japan Thursday after Asia's largest automaker said it's taking a $1.1 billion charge to settle claims that recalls for unintended acceleration hurt the value of U.S. customers' vehicles. In late trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Toyota's American depositary shares were up 2.3 percent at $92.39. Toyota shares rose 2.6 percent in Tokyo to the highest level in 35 months. "Within the industry, we probably say this is the cost of business," said Alan Baum, principal of auto-industry researcher Baum & Associates in West Bloomfield, Michigan. "This settlement is a way to deal with uncertainty from the recalls and investors like to see uncertainty go away." The settlement, pending approval by a federal court judge in Santa Ana, California, covers costs such as cash payments to customers, Toyota said yesterday in a statement.
