It will be interesting to see how Ford stock fairs in 2019 given the recent decisions by the automaker to optimize its business performance, including discontinuing all sedans and focusing on more profitable crossovers, SUVs and pickup trucks in the North American market, while at the same time beginning to invest heavily in significantly less profitable autonomous vehicles and technologies.

Comment
It seems that the stock market sees Ford’s folly. Too bad the geniuses at Ford don’t understand the market, and no longer understand they were a CAR company. It looks like they in the long run will be going the way of Isuzu and Mitsubishi which is irrelevant and inconsequential in the US.
