Ford's 2023 US sales rise 7.1% on pickup truck, SUV demand
By: Investing | January 4, 2024
(Reuters) -Ford Motor on Thursday posted a 7.1% rise in 2023 U.S. sales, fueled by demand for its crossover SUVs and pickup trucks and easing supply chain constraints.
The automaker notched annual sales of 1.99 million units, compared with 1.86 million units a year earlier.
Overall, U.S. new vehicle sales last year finished at around 15.5 million units, of which electrified vehicles including hybrids made up nearly 17%, according to data from Wards Intelligence.
General Motors (NYSE:GM) on Wednesday reported higher U.S. sales and was able to retain its lead over Toyota (NYSE:TM) and other automakers.

Citi cuts estimates on Ford, maintains Buy rating
By: Investing | December 19, 2023
Citi Research reiterated a Buy rating on Ford Motors (NYSE:F) and cut their 12-month price target on the stock to $15.00 (From $17.00) after the Detroit automaker updated guidance to reflect recent concessions made to workers following a UAW strike.
Analysts cut their 2023-2024 estimated EPS by around 11-12%. Additionally, there has been a minor downward adjustment of 2% for the 2025 estimated EPS. However, it's worth noting that the projected estimates for 2024 and 2025 still stand considerably higher than the general consensus among analysts.
It was also noted that there are “No major changes to LT view of Ford’s EPS strength.”
Shares of F are up 0.38% in early trading Tuesday morning.

Ford (F) to cut F-150 Lightning production by 50% in 2024
By: Investing | December 11, 2023
Automotive News reports Monday that Detroit automaker, Ford Motor (NYSE:F) has sent a memo to suppliers with plans to cut production on the company’s F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck by half in 2024.
"Changing market demand," was the reasoning given for the steep pullback.
The announcement arrives during a period when the entire industry is reducing its investment in electric vehicles due to slower-than-anticipated sales growth. Ford announced during the company’s 3Q call in early November that the company would be pulling back production of their popular electric Mustang Mach-E.
“We are also slowing down several investments, including making a decision with SK On to delay the second BlueOval SK JV battery plant in Kentucky.” Lawler added during the conference call in late October.
Ford CEO, Jim Farley announced early this month that the F-150 Lightning broke a monthly sales record in November after sales more than doubled (+113%) for the EV truck.
Ford sold more Lightning models in November than its entire sales for the third quarter, reaching 3,503 units sold.
As a pickup truck, the Lightning EV competes directly with Tesla’s (TSLA) freshly launched Cybertruck.
However, where the Cybertruck holds a starting price of $79.990, the F-150 Lightning starts at $49,995.
Shares of F are up 0.45% after market close on Monday.

'Let's Work Together,' Jim Farley Tells Elon Musk As Ford's Next-Gen Team On 'Similar Path' As Tesla With 48-V Architecture
Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) CEO Jim Farley on Thursday said that the team developing its next-generation vehicles is on a 'similar path' as EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) with its 48-volt architecture. The CEO informed this via X hours after confirming the receipt of a document on high-volt architecture from rival CEO Elon Musk.
What Happened: 'Great to read the document and realize that our next-gen team has been on a similar path,' Farley wrote on X. 'Let's work together to help the supply base move into the 48V future as well.'
Great to read the document and realize that our next-gen team has been on a similar path. Let's work together to help the supply base move into the 48V future as well.
â?? Jim Farley (@jimfarley98) December 7, 2023
Tesla Investor Relations Head Martin Viecha also chimed into the conversation and said, 'Amazing to see this. I've been reading about the transition to 48V for almost 20 years. It's great to see that it's finally happening.'
Amazing to see this. I've been reading about transition to 48V for almost 20 years. It's great to see that it's finally happening
â?? Martin Viecha (@MartinViecha) December 7, 2023
Automakers have been using 12-volt architecture for decades. The new technology in Tesla's Cybertruck, however, involves the use of a 48-volt electrical system.
Earlier this week, Musk sent a document to Farley that reportedly delves into the nitty-gritty of implementing a 48-volt architecture, from the essential components to the potential impact on range and power delivery. The 48-volt architecture allows for faster charging, and better performance as well as the steer-by-wire feature on the Cybertruck.
Ford's Next-Gen Vehicle: Ford announced its next-gen electric truck codenamed Project T3 in March. The company intends to build the truck at its EV and battery manufacturing campus in West Tennessee in 2025.
During Ford's third-quarter earnings call, Farley called the gen-2 truck "one of the most thrilling vehicles he saw in his career," and added that the vehicle has stunning performance, a super flexible cabin that "feels like a lounge" and offers an immersive digital experience.
"Take the wheels off this truck, and it's still a mind-blowing product and a digital experience that totally is immersive and personalized," Farley then said. "I'd take this truck seven days of the week over a Cybertruck."

Ford says unlikely Mustang Mach-E EV will qualify for federal tax credits in January
By: Investing | December 6, 2023
(Reuters) -Ford Motor said on Wednesday it is unlikely Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles currently in dealer showrooms will qualify for federal tax credits beginning in January.
The U.S. Treasury issued guidance last week detailing new battery sourcing restrictions that take effect Jan. 1 aimed at weaning the U.S. EV supply chain away from China. The current model Mach-E currently qualifies for a $3,750 federal tax credit.
Ford (NYSE:F) has sold 35,908 Mach-E EVs in the U.S. in the first 11 months of the year, up 3.5% over the same period last year. In October, Ford said it was cutting some Mach-E production.
Ford also said in October it was postponing about $12 billion in EV investments, including delaying its second battery plant in Kentucky.
Ford also said in October it was temporarily cutting one of three shifts at the Michigan plant that builds its electric F-150 lightning pickup truck, citing multiple constraints, including supply chain issues.
Ford told dealers according to a bulletin seen by Reuters about the tax credit and said the expiriation is "an excellent motivator to purchase before the end of the year. This is a great time to reach out to customers in your pipeline to close the sale and ensure they are able to receive the credit."
Ford also told dealers that incentives for 2023 model Mach-E and F-150 Lightning sales and leases would be extended.
CarsDirect reported the EV tax credit news earlier.
General Motors (NYSE:GM) said Friday that it expects many of its electric vehicles to qualify for U.S. tax credits next year after new stricter rules limiting Chinese battery content take effect on Jan. 1.
In December 2021, Ford had said it expected to triple the output of its all-electric Mustang Mach-E to over 200,000 units per year by 2023 for North America and Europe.

Ford's US vehicle sales slip 0.5% in November
By: Investing | December 4, 2023
(Reuters) -Ford Motor posted a 0.5% drop in U.S. new vehicle sales for November on Monday, as the automaker worked to restart some of its key plants following a lengthy workers' strike that impacted vehicle production.
Ford (NYSE:F) reached a deal with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union in late October, ending an over month-long strike the company said will cost it $1.7 billion. Sales also fell 5.3% in October, although analysts said the Detroit Three automakers had built up inventory in anticipation of the strike.
Ford's CFO John Lawler said in October restarting the plants would be complicated after the deal, which UAW workers ratified in November.
The automaker said in November that all its affected plants had been restarted.
Sales of Ford's electric vehicles jumped 43.2%, to 8,958 units from a year ago, the automaker said on Monday.
Sales of its trucks slipped 2.8%, to 78,971 units, for the same period.
The company reported total sales of 145,559 vehicles in November, compared with 146,364 units last year.

Ford Motor stock pops on reinstated outlook, new UAW deal expected to cost $8.8 billion
By: Investing | November 30, 2023
Ford (NYSE:F) has reinstated its 2023 financial guidance, still anticipating adjusted Ebit in the range of $10.0 billion to $10.5 billion.
As a result, shares rose modestly in pre-market Thursday trade.
The Michigan-based automaker also disclosed that the new U.S. labor agreement with the UAW is projected to incur costs of $8.8 billion over the life of the contract.
“This industry is going through the biggest technology-led transformation we’ve ever seen and some companies, new and old, are going to be left behind,” Ford CFO John Lawler said.
“Ford+ is the right strategy to win – we’ve got a highly talented team that allocates capital with great discipline, so that we’re executing with consistency, generating strong growth and profitability, and are less cyclical.”
Within this, gross wages, accelerated wage progression, and cost of living adjustments are identified as the three largest components contributing to the total.
Furthermore, the labor pact's effect is expected to cost approximately $900 per vehicle by 2028.
Ford withdrew 2023 financial guidance in late October during the UAW strike of certain U.S. operations.
The company aims for adjusted free cash flow between $5.0 billion and $5.5 billion for the year.

What is Happening With Ford (F) Stock?
By: 24/7 Wall St. | November 12, 2023
It seems logical to believe that Ford ’s (NYSE: F) stock would recover from its plunge when the UAW was on strike. The strike may be over, but the shares are near a 52-week low. The problem is that investors believe Ford cut deals from which it will not recover.
The improved deal for workers will cost Ford billions of dollars in compensation over the next four years. This, in turn, will make it harder for Ford to invest in product development and the billions of dollars it planned to spend on EV expansion. But the problems are worse.
People are not buying Ford’s EVs, particularly its F-150 Lightning. Ford presumed the sales of the Lightning would rise into the hundreds of thousands, The gas-powered version has been the best-selling vehicle in the US for over four decades. Ford had a built-in market for the F-150 EV version it appeared. However, people do not want it. Rather, Ford’s success has been with the truck’s hybrid version.
There is a lingering belief that CEO Jim Farley and Executive Chairman Bill Ford have been poor stewards. They have been wrong about expense levels, as earnings statements have shown. They mispriced their EVs, which triggered many changes in what they charged customers. They have laid out an EV future that was too expensive and executed without any proof from the market that EV sales would surge.
Ford, it has started to appear, will be a gas-powered car company for years to come. The market is not ready to adopt EVs rapidly in general. People don’t like how long it takes to charge EVs, their short driving ranges, and the small number of charging stations. There are 125,000 gas stations in America, by contrast.
Ford is caught in its past; without any evidence, it has a road map for its future, while at the same time, its expenses have surged.

Options Traders Continue to Target Ford (F) Stock After Bear Gap
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | November 6, 2023
• Ford stock landed on Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of names that saw the highest weekly options volume in the last two weeks
• The stock is still recovering from its late-October post-earnings plummet
Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) stock is sliding today, down 1.6% at $10.39 at last check, after Evercore ISI lowered its price target from $11 to $10. The stock has only recovered a portion of its steep post-earnings losses, dropping 12.3% on Oct. 27 after its disappointing full-year forecast. Since the start of the year, the equity is down 6.4%.
Meanwhile, options traders have been targeting the stock after the earnings event, as the equity found its way onto Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of names that saw the highest weekly options volume in the last two weeks. Per White's data, 1,716,369 calls and 1,449,704 puts have been exchanged within that period. The January 2025 9.35-strike put was the most popular contract during this time, followed by the weekly 11/3 10.50-strike call.
These options traders are in luck, too, as premiums are attractively priced at the moment. F's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 28% ranks in the low 5th percentile of its annual range, meaning options traders are pricing in low volatility expectations at the moment.
