Fords Motors Releases Great Sales Figures

The corporate giant has broken all records by reporting a rise of 23% on year-to-year sales.

Fords Motors has recently reported its sales figures on October 1, which came around to be surprisingly higher than the expectations of the analysts. The yearly report showed that the auto-making giant observed a rise in sales. As compared to the previous year’s sales, an upgrade was seen by 23%, a massive improvement to be taken into consideration by its rivals. As for the sales in the retails department, the rise was still observed and the report showed that it did not show any signs of slowing down any time soon. All the good news apart, Fords cars have still not been performing as they are expected to do so. It was seen that despite the progress made, the share value of the company was not showing any signs of growth, which the analysts are wondering where the hybrid car makers could be headed in near term. Investors in the vehicle company have turned out to be a little confused about what to think about the future of the company, which is why they have been reluctant to make huge investments. On a different note, recent Fords news informed the industry analysts that the sales report for the month of September was not just a huge success, but it was also a major step ahead taken by the giant to fight with its rivals in a much better way than it was doing before. As of the sales made in the last month alone, the numbers came around to be at 221,599, which, according to the analysts, is a number that can shake up the entire American auto industry. Keeping in mind that the sales in September increased by a massive 23 percent as compared to the year before, analysts are talking about how the firm has even broken its own records as in August its sales were raised by just 5.4 percent whereas in July it rose by 4.9 percent only. This also shows that the American auto manufacturer seems to be doing wonders in the industry, while it is also beating records made by other auto giants in the market. The luxury car maker has proved to be better than expectations and for the near term future, the company’s sales are predicted to get better on bigger levels. Analysts are not the only ones to be bullish about the company now, as investors have shown positive sentiments towards the company as well.

Is Fords Motors Carrying Out Positive Business Plans Under CEO Mark Fields?

Analysts believe that the kind of planning Mark Fields is carrying out for the company's future is going to take it ahead and head to head with rivals in the industry soon.

Fords Motors has been in the news again, this time around for investors and analysts wondering where the auto company is headed and if any new plans are being adopted by it or not. Before ex- CEO Alan Mulally had hold of the smart car making company, it was seen that the firm was seen to undergo some massive changes within the management that helped it to boost upwards on the scale.

In the year that Mulally was seen to join the firm, the loss that was reported by the auto giants came around at $30 million. Despite the fact, the firm did not become bankrupt as it was handled quite perfectly by the CEO. From that point onwards, the hybrid car makers did not look backwards and only showed massive signs of growth. Since the time the control of Fords has been given to new CEO Mark Fields, questions are now being raised as to where the firm is headed under his guidance. The investors wish to know the current situation of the auto giant that they are investing on and whether or not under Fields rule is the company going to perform any better.

As per the analysts believe, the firm needs to carry out a lot of plans in order to compete with the rivals in the industry. Some of these plans include the bringing back the Lincoln brand which has been long ignored an also apply the much needed changes in the company that are taking place in the industry at quite a quick pace.

Lincoln has been targeted by analysts in their researches as the luxury brand supported by Fords Company has long been forgotten due to the struggles it has faced in the market. The CEO of the firm was seen to inform its investors that the fact that they are not yet a proper part of the luxury car industry is something to be taken into consideration and it will be looked after by the management soon. The first step towards success is establishing Fords cars into the luxury vehicle industry which is going to make their position clear on the front.

Fields also believes that if the correct amount of attention is given to Lincoln luxury cars, then the profit that can be raised from the sector will be huge for the firm. The auto makers are also planning to release these cars to China as well, within a given time period of 2014-2020 by spending around $2.5 billion for the process to be carried out perfectly.

Ford To Release Mustang In Europe Soon

The automaking company has sent its first shipment to the European states with great sales expectations.

Ford Motors has recently announced that it has successfully managed to carry out a shipment of Mustangs for the first time to Europe, and the smart cars are expected to make the customers in the region quite excited about the launch. According to a news article published by USA Today, it is expected that by the time the auto making company’s car are launched in the region, the sales of the cars manufactured by the firm are going to gain momentum by a mile. The new cars of the auto giant have been seen carrying some really exciting features which are predicted to bring about a stir in the European markets.

Previously, the firm has sold around 100,000 cars in the European region in around 20 markets in the west. These sales did raise not even the total sales of American cars in the continent but they also helped the firm to receive an increase in sales by around 1.5 percent as compared to the previous quarter. On the other hand, the firm is looking towards expanding its business and not restricting itself to one country only which is why such steps are being taken.

If only the current year is taken into consideration, it will be seen that around 9.3 percent rise has been recorded in the sales of the Fords cars and only in the first five months of the year 2015, the total cars that have so far been sold to the customers have come around at 542,000, a number that is definitely to be reckoned with.

These sales have not only surprised the analysts but also the investors in the company as the auto industry has so far shown a growth in sales of around 7.2 percent only, which has been surpassed by Ford in a successful manner. This time around, the firm has broken its own records as it has scored massively after two years of struggles. Furthermore, it will be seen that the first half of the year has been taken a little slow by the management of the auto making company. However, the pace will be quickened in the upcoming months, as the firm is planning to strengthen trade even more than before.

Fords has been witnessing a flat share in the stock market for the past 12 months, but the firm has decided to change that by coming into some much needed action. Previously the share that the hybrid car makers had in the market was around 7.8 percent, and as per recent news, the share has now been upgraded to 8.1 percent.
