We posit that the positive results were impacted by the potential resolution to the United States and China trade war, which has intensified over the past few months. In addition, the Trump administration recently announced a surprise Mexico tariff threat, which was promptly resolved. Tariffs and trade wars create a significant amount of uncertainty in global economies and markets, and stock markets typically react negatively to trade wars and uncertainty.
We remain interested in seeing how Ford stock fares throughout the rest of 2019, especially in light of the Dearborn-based automaker’s decisions to optimize its business by discontinuing all sedans to focus on more profitable crossovers, SUVs, and pickup trucks in the North American market, while at the same time investing in very costly autonomous vehicles and technologies.
It’s worth noting that The Blue Oval started on both moves much later than its rivals. For instance, FCA was the first to discontinue most of its sedan portfolio and General Motors started to invest heavily into EVs and autonomous vehicles earlier than The Blue Oval.
