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

- Tuesday, June 4, 2:23 PM It was trucks that made up most of the difference between sales for Ford (F -1.2%) and General Motors (GM +1.5%) in May, +14% vs. +3%, but that could change quickly. Most of GM's new trucks are just arriving on dealer lots which means the automaker could catch up to its rivals that came to the market earlier with fresh models. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, June 3, 9:38 AM Ford (F +2.3%) recalls 465K 2013 models including the "Fusion, Flex, Explorer, Taurus, Interceptor Sedan and Interceptor Utility, as well as the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, MKS and MKT" to check a fuel delivery module which may leak and could cause a fire "in the presence of an ignition source," the company says. No fires have been reported to date. The company says it will be September before it can deliver enough replacement parts to cover the recall for all owners. 2 Comments
- Monday, June 3, 9:37 AM Ford (F) May U.S. sales: +14% to 239,280 vs. estimates of a 13% gain. Escape sales +26%, Fusion +10%. F-Series sales +31%. 2013 Q2 production guidance of 800K is unchanged. Q3 production guidance of 740K vehicles, up 10% Y/Y. (PR) 10 Comments [Breaking News]
- Friday, May 31, 5:43 PM New U.S. auto sales are expected to reach 1.42M in May, rising 6.5% Y/Y and 11% from April, according to Edmunds.com, as May sales "chased away any of last month's concerns that the auto recovery is stalling." Among U.S. auto makers, Edmunds expects GM sales to rise 1.9% Y/Y and Ford (F) to jump 13%. Projections for Japanese firms: Nissan (NSANY.OB) +20%, Honda (HMC) +1.7%, Toyota (TM) -0.2%. 6 Comments [Consumer, U.S. Economy]
- Friday, May 31, 7:49 AM The NHTSA sets new guidelines for self-driving cars including a safeguard that they can be taken over by a human driver in the case of a malfunction. So far, Google and Audi (VLKAY.PK) are at the forefront of the new technology, although almost every major automaker (GM, F, TM HMC, FIATY.PK, NSANY.OB) has been dabbling with the concept due to the long-term potential existing that some forms of mass transit (taxis, buses, shuttles) could be replaced with self-driving models. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 30, 12:09 PM May Auto Sales preview: Analysts expect the big Memorial Day weekend to have helped boost the monthly U.S. sales tally for automakers to the best level in 6 years as the allure of energy efficient models and easier credit terms helps to motivate buyers. By the numbers, Nissan (NSANY.OB), Volkswagen (VLKAY.PK), and Ford (F) are forecast to see the biggest Y/Y gains - while by segment full-size pickup trucks and compact crossovers are viewed as doing most of the heavy lifting. General Motors (GM) is pegged at a +250K unit month, while Toyota (TM) may have the lost the most market share. On the electric-vehicle front, a pricing war should lift sales a bit at the expense of profitability - while the Tesla Motors (TSLA) juggernaut rolls on. 11 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 29, 1:47 PM Though shares of Ford (F +2.6%) stand at 52-week highs, a growing number of investors think the market is valuating the company on the conservative side. They think the only thing holding back the stock is concern over the automaker's losses over Europe, but they note the protracted auto slump on the continent appears to have finally bottomed out. By the numbers, a forward P/E ratio of 6.5 and a yield of 2.55% make Ford a tempting buy. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 28, 10:32 AM Shares of Ford (F +3.4%) rev higher as any concerns about an USTA investigation over acceleration issue with F-150 pickup trucks gets left in the dust. The focus of investors seems to be on a price target increase from Merrill Lynch to $24 and more bullish forecasts for demand in the U.S. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 28, 7:26 AM Shares of Fiat (FIATY.PK) are up over 4.5% in trading today in Europe to put them at 20-month highs as more Italian newspapers report that negotiations are in a decisive phase over Fiat's plans to buy the 41.5% of Chrysler it doesn't own. An eventual Chrysler IPO in the U.S. could bear some watching for General Motors (GM) and Ford (F). 3 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Saturday, May 25, 4:15 PM Apple's (AAPL) effective tax rate of 14% is just a smidgin lower than IBM at 15% and Google (GOOG) at 17%. And Apple's hardly on the lowest rung: Amazon's (AMZN) rate is just 6%, Ford's (F) 3%, and Carnival's (CCL) just 1%. In trying to untangle what S&P 500 companies pay in taxes, David Leonhardt finds top executives are exceptionally shrewd at holding tax rates down. (infographic) 35 Comments
- 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. 7 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]
