PREMiERdrum Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 A month of great news... 71k F-Series, 24k Fusion, 26k Escape, 20k Focus, 6k Fiesta... And Lincoln has leveled off, ticking up just a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Mustang sales where down again, but I guess thats expected with the new Model coming out in less then a year away and the 50th anniversary just over 6 months away. The Taurus had a nice bump in sales and is up 10% for the year...not bad showing at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 71,000 F-Series @ avg of 10K profit per truck -- is $710,000,000. 3rd quarter numbers are gonna be pretty good. Hopefully see a stock buy back program, be nice to get the stock over $20 a share.Looks like Lincoln has some good momentum with the MKZ, hopefully the MKC/MKX are as well received. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanatWork Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 So glad to see the retail successes. Several years ago, profitability seemed unattainable and the cars cranked out as loss-leaders seemed inevitable.Very glad to see that era gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonj80 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) I doubt that the F-Series has a $10k net profit. It has to be close now -- They used to avg. out to about $7000-$8000K back in Mid-2000's, the ATP's now are insane on them.

Pioneer Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I doubt that the F-Series has a $10k net profit. More, depending on rebates. Heard it from my plant manager.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I can believe that as the gross margin (sale price vs. cost of goods sold). But that's nowhere near the net (sale price vs. COGS, SG&A, amortization, depreciation, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Its good knews and expected but so it was for most other major makers as well. But if they are interested in growing market share, it will require new products. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonj80 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Its good knews and expected but so it was for most other major makers as well. But if they are interested in growing market share, it will require new products. They've done pretty good this year without launching new products. Next year with the new F-150, Mustang, Edge, MKX, MKC, Transit / Transit Connect, and roomer updated Focus, Explorer, and continued improvements to the Fusion should be a very good year for share and sales.

papilgee4evaeva Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Also, not mentioned yet: Ford brand outsold all other brands. (next highest was Toyota, ~12k sales behind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev-Mo Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Also, not mentioned yet: Ford brand outsold all other brands. (next highest was Toyota, ~12k sales behind) But Toyota solidly in 2nd place in sales behind GM - and don't go off on the "who cares because of profit thing" because Toyota is plenty profitable. As mentioned above, good growth but no new market share. Too bad Ford lost that 2nd position. Third place - ouch!

RichardJensen Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 don't go off on the "who cares because of profit thing" How about the "Ford has almost no excess capacity" thing---meaning they couldn't get to 2nd without adding a hundred thousand or more units of capacity..... ............Like, oh, say, buying out Mazda's share of Flat Rock.

aneekr Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This is very good for Ford and their shareholders. I need to buy some stock! This should be a good time to do so. Trading volume on F today was heavy, over 69M. Analyst opinion (based on StarMine) is very bullish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneekr Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) 1 F Series sold every 42 seconds in August...dang Another fun fact: In August 2013, F-Series sales alone exceeded total vehicle sales for the vast majority of automobile nameplates in the U.S. Other than Ford itself, the only nameplates with greater August 2013 sales volume than that of just F-Series were Toyota, Chevrolet, Honda, and Nissan.

MadManMoon Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I also contributed to these great numbers...took delivery of my C-MAX Hybrid on August 7! As a shareholder, I thank myself! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMoon Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 So where do we think Ford stands year-to-date compared to GM? Can we even determine this, given that GM has stopped announcing sales numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
