We remain interested in seeing how Ford stock fares throughout the rest of 2019, especially in light of various Dearborn-based automaker’s actions 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 resource-intensive autonomous vehicle technologies and electric vehicles, which have yet to turn a profit for any OEM.
It’s worth noting that The Blue Oval started to move on both fronts 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. This week, The Blue Oval announced details of its partnership with Volkswagen that would result in VW investing into Ford’s Argo AI venture.
