This summary was created by AI, based on 8 opinions in the last 12 months.

Ford Motor Company has faced significant challenges in its electric vehicle (EV) sector, reporting a $17 billion loss over four years due to declining EV demand in the U.S. and increased competition from China. The company has recently pivoted towards energy storage solutions, utilizing its Kentucky plant, and has also scaled back its EV investments. Despite a slight decline in core car sales, overall revenues have increased, supported by a favorable valuation around 8x PE and a solid 4.3% dividend yield. Experts are divided; while some acknowledge potential growth in the battery storage space and advantages from lower interest rates, others express concern over warranty issues, competitive pressures, and cyclical nature of the automotive industry, arguing that Ford’s stock is not a long-term hold. Overall sentiment suggests that while there are risks, there is also value present in Ford’s diverse strategies and potential for recovery.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 17/09. Up 80%.) Still buying for his newer clients. Very solid product line-up. Quality controls are better than a lot of other domestic companies. 6 consecutive quarters of earnings surprises. Trading at 6.5X forward PE.
DON'T BUY
Have done a great job. Avoided bankruptcy through good management. Unfortunately competitors under bankruptcy protection come out stronger. Balance sheet is pretty ugly with about $140 billion of total debt, about 107% of capital.
WAIT
Discretionary sector. Not a good season for it. Autos do well from October into May and particularly in the new year. Broke its long term up trend. Hold off until later in the year.
DON'T BUY
On the surface it looks pretty good, trading at a pretty reasonable multiple. Best of management among the US automakers. Decent product line. Trillion dollars of debt scares him away as they could come back to the market with a new issue to pay it off.
DON'T BUY
Doesn’t own US stocks and this is not the one he would own. Earnings are non-existent. He would worry about competition from Asia.
BUY
Ford is one of the only that did not go the government for a handout. You can own it here and he likes it.
DON'T BUY
Has been on his watch list for years. Potentially has lots of upside. Would not buy it now. Lots of more companies are more interesting. This is not a good time of the year to buy. Because so many stocks moved up from last march to now, there is lots of downside potential.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute) They are selling 30 Million cars in China – could go up to 100 million. Not a terrible idea, but he doesn’t like the balance sheet.
DON'T BUY
A company with a fairly impaired balance sheet has done quite well on the anticipation that things are going to get back to the old days in terms of numbers of vehicles. Expect there may be an equity raise that will hurt.
BUY
(Market Called Minute.) Of all the car companies globally, this one is looking more and more like the smart one.
WATCH
A consumer discretionary stock so the seasonality is from the end of January right through until the middle of May. On a technical basis, you may actually have seen the high so look for strength between now and the middle of May and take some profits.
DON'T BUY
Has proven to be the best of the North American car manufacturers, which is probably why the share price has done so well. An area he doesn't want to play in. A shrinking market and there will be pressures on pricing for a while with offshore competition.
PARTIAL SELL
Would be tempted to take some money off the table at this time. Has had a good run. Over the long-term, the industry still has a lot of headwinds.
DON'T BUY
American car industry has come back faster and stronger than what people expected. This company has a pretty good line-up, including electric/hybrid vehicles. Not a bad investment but the stock has gone up a whole lot and is no longer cheap.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 17/09. Up 83.1%.) Still a Buy. Good product line. Gaining market share. 4 consecutive quarters of earnings surprises.
