After the start of the calendar year, company performance has increased by 44.82%.
Last week Ford reported that its US retail sales in the first quarter increased 23 % from the same period the year before. Truck demand and the Ford Mustang Mach-E, an electric vehicle already on sale worldwide, are drivers of growth. Moreover, sales growth could have been even more outstanding concurrently. On the other hand, there is still a shortage of semiconductors and electronic components for electric vehicles on the global market.
Despite this, Ford Motor Company (F) most profitable segment remains the F-series pickup trucks used worldwide by farmers, entrepreneurs, and municipal entities. Demand for Ford’s new F-150 hybrids grew throughout the first quarter as the Ford Motor started selling the cars. Despite disruptions in chip shipments for the F-150, total sales of the F-Series cars rose 9.2% for the quarter.
Sales of SUVs went up 37% thanks to the resurgence of US brands like Bronco and Mustang, which also offered an electric version. The latter is significant as the industry evolves and EVs have long-term potential.
Many users have criticized the Mustang Mach-E because it’s radically different from the iconic Mustang with its two-door coupes and powerful gasoline engines. Tesla Model Y – is closer to the Mustang Mach-E – a crossover electric vehicle.
Yet the bold move seems to be paying off for Ford Motor Company (F), and the cars have been selling very quickly. There was an average of 614 vehicles sold during the quarter, with the cars’ delivery taking just seven days. These results are expected to lead to a positive conclusion.
