Nissan Motor Co. shares declined the most since August’s market rout, amid volatility as investor focus shifts to the terms of the carmaker’s planned deal with Honda Motor Co.

The stock tumbled as much as 15% Friday, its sharpest intraday drop in 26 years, before paring its loss to close 7.8% lower. It was the most-traded stock, in terms of volume, on Japan’s benchmark Topix.
