3 Reasons Ford Stock Could Rise

Ford Investments

Ford has spent its last year making big investments in its future. For example, Ford recently spent a large sum of money perfecting their new pickup, a choice that’s benefited all Utah Ford F150 drivers.

To produce the F150, Ford had to rework two of its U.S. factories, which was a timely and expensive process. However, the benefits of this investment are already starting to pay off because F-Series pickup sales were up almost 17 percent in January. Ford also expects its overall pre-tax profit to be somewhere between eight billion dollars and ten billion dollars, which is higher than previously estimated.

Ford in Asia

In 2014, Ford’s Asia-Pacific unit earned $589 million. In 2015, Ford expects to earn even more thanks to their past investments in Asia. In 2012, the company committed billions of dollars to an Asian expansion effort, building several factories that are now open, generating income and supporting local communities.

By the end of 2015, Ford expects to reach a six percent share of China’s automotive market, a large feat. Additionally, Ford is establishing operations in India that will further boost their Asian sales.

Ford in Europe

Although Ford has had several difficulties in Europe, it seems as if things are turning around. Contemporarily, Ford is reducing its costs in Europe and expanding its product portfolio, two actions that commonly boost stock.

To Utah Ford F150 drivers’ delight, other individuals across the world will soon have access to one of the most awarded trucks of all time. Ford is also releasing several new models in Europe that should also boost their sales.

As expected, 2015 is turning out to be another great year for Ford. The company’s commitment to investing in new products, such as the F150, is boosting their overall success. This commitment has also allowed Ford to surprise its competitors and awe automobile users all over the globe.
