Company Description
Ford Motor Company (referred to herein as "Ford", the "Company", "we", "our" or "us") was incorporated in Delaware in 1919. We acquired the business of a Michigan company, also known as Ford Motor Company, that had been incorporated in 1903 to produce and sell automobiles designed and... More

- Friday, May 24, 2:18 PM Ford (F) reaches an agreement with authorities in France to keep 1,000 employees at a Blanquefort factory. In exchange for the company's promise to retain the workers, the local government will invest €12.5M with Ford's €125M to produce gearboxes at the location. 5 Comments
- Friday, May 24, 1:25 PM Japanese automakers (TM, HMC, NSANY.OB, MZDAY.PK, SZKMY.PK) could see the tide turning in China as consumer demand continues to pick up. Even with rhetoric and military exercises over the islands in the East China Sea continuing, new data shows 16K cars were shipped from Japan to China in April - 3X what was exported last Oct. when the flareup started - and Japanese brands now account for 16% of the market after dipping to as low as 7%. The big picture: Though the overall pie keeps getting larger, General Motors (GM -0.1%) and Ford (F +0.1%) would just as soon that the Japanese automakers keep their slice of the China auto market small. 2 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Friday, May 24, 8:01 AM Ford (F) plans to retire the Ford Falcon model with production shutting down in Australia. The automaker says it hasn't decided what to do with the Ford Territory, also sold Down Under. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, May 24, 7:06 AM May is an important month for the automobile industry after the last three years saw a post-Q1 dip in sales. Industry forecasts are for May volume to top 1.4M units, which would mark a 9% Y/Y improvement. If May comes in strong, annual forecasts are likely to be raised as the threat of another late spring swoon is lifted. What to watch: A pickup in housing could help lift sales of full-sized pickups, while the average selling price for automakers (GM, F, FIATY.PK, NSANY.OB, TM, HMC, VLKAY.PK) should look strong as they take their foot off the promotional pedal. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 22, 10:17 PM Ford (F) says it will close its plants in Australia in 2016 as a strong aussie and high labor costs weigh heavily on the Australian manufacturing sector's ability to compete with cheap imports. The closures are expected to result in the loss of some 1,200 jobs. 6 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 22, 7:17 AM Ford (F) says close to 75% of its plants in North America are operating on more than two shifts a day as the automaker ramps up production. The extra shifts could account for as many as an extra 240K vehicles this year. (Previous: Ford cut backs summer shutdown) Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 22, 6:48 AM The Big Three (F, GM, FIATY.PK) automakers will cut back on summer shutdowns at factories with production goals being setting higher. GM won't shut down its factories at all while Ford and Chrysler will trim their shutdown schedule. At the moment, Japanese automakers (HMC, TM, NSANY.OB) still have a week scheduled for a summer plant shutdown. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 21, 8:27 AM Strengthening rumors of a steep 20% consumption tax on luxury cars in China could create a ripple in the automobile industry with expectations high for the segment and productions plans ramping up. On watch: Lincoln (F), Cadillac (GM), Mercedes-Benz (DDAIF.PK), Audi (VLKAY.PK), Tata Motors (TTM), and Porsche ((POAHY.PK). 21 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 21, 5:40 AM Goldman Sachs lifts its forecasts for the S&P 500 (SPY), as David Kostin and company now say they expect the index to gain 5% by year-end to 1,750, 9% to 1,900 in 2014, and 10% to 2,100 in 2015. The rationale: expectations of above-trend real GDP growth beginning next year (Mr. Evans' "escape velocity" ?) coupled with P/E multiple expansion to 16x. Furthermore, dividends should rise ~30% over the next two years, bolstering the firm's claim that dividend-paying equities (DVY) are one of the only places U.S. investors can look to for income-generation. Some of GS's dividend picks, as listed on MarketWatch: Mattel (MAT), Ford (F), Philip Morris (PM), Walgreen (WAG), Chevron (CVX), U.S. Bancorp (USB), GE, Western Union (WU), Dow Chemical (DOW), and AT&T (T). 11 Comments
- Monday, May 20, 1:06 PM LMC Automotive thinks demand for automobiles in China will return to a double-digit pace next year and stay stable for the four to five years. It's a common enough forecast in the industry with IHS Automotive going so far as to say there is "no chance" for a negative growth environment in China due to the less than 7% of the population that owns a car. Rough forward-looking China capacity counts: General Motors (GM +1.4%) 5M vehicles a year; Hyundai and Kia (HYMLF.PK) combined 1.8M; Ford (F +0.4%) 1.2M by 2015; Volkswagen (VLKAY.PK) 4M by 2018. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, May 20, 10:19 AM Ford (F +0.5%) thinks the percentage of U.S. vehicles sold with four-cylinder engines will rise to over two-thirds by the end of the decade, an estimate that looks like a "stretch" to some industry insiders. Though the automaker sees making more headway with its four-cylinder models in many segments, it fell short of saying the smaller engine would take off in the large SUV or pickup segment. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, May 17, 11:05 AM A nice little jump in consumer sentiment bodes well for automobile companies, according to CNBC's Phil LeBeau. The outlook for the industry looks extremely good with fresh models from automakers (F, GM, TM, FIATY.PK, HMC, NSANY.OB, VLKAY.PK) coinciding with structural pent-up demand and the uptick in sentiment. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, May 17, 7:38 AM Ford (F) plans to shift some Fiesta production to Thailand to free up capacity in North America for other models. It's a move that makes sense to automobile analysts with the Fiesta selling well in Asia and Ford planning big things for new models in North America. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 15, 1:37 PM A €25.2M grant the Spanish government plans to offer Ford (F +2.9%) for a €419.9M project (production of the Transit Connect in Valencia) comes under EU regulatory scrutiny. At issue is whether the "project might exceed the authorized 5% increase in production in a declining market," Reuters says. F believes its request for state aid is within the law. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 15, 7:02 AM Ford (F) sees demand for SUVs in India helping its EcoSport make a strong debut there despite the stalled automobile market in the nation. The automaker will hedge its bet a little bit by manufacturing EcoSport cars for both right-hand and left-hand drive markets and make it available for export. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, May 13, 8:44 AM For the first time in more than a decade, the Big Three automakers (GM, F, FIATY.PK) claimed a majority of the category winners in a prestigious vehicle quality survey. The increase in quality by the trio dovetails nicely with a pickup in demand for U.S. models that has Japanese automakers scrambling (TM, HMC, NSANY.OB) to respond. 2 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
