Ford: Quality Woes and EV Struggles Send Shares PlungingFord Motor Company is currently navigating a challenging operational landscape marked by significant headwinds. The company's financial performance has been notably impacted by a confluence of factors, with quality issues and the electrification transition posing the most substantial challenges.
A surge in warranty costs, primarily related to older vehicle models, has eroded profitability. Concurrently, the Model E division, responsible for Ford's electric vehicle initiatives, has incurred substantial losses. The competitive intensity within the EV market, coupled with evolving consumer preferences, has exacerbated these challenges. While the Ford Pro segment, focused on commercial vehicles, exhibits growth potential, its current contribution is insufficient to offset the negative impact of the other divisions.
To restore financial health and regain investor confidence, Ford must implement a comprehensive strategic overhaul. This necessitates a concerted effort to enhance quality control, accelerate EV development while mitigating costs, and optimize operational efficiency across the entire organization. The company's ability to successfully navigate this complex environment will be instrumental in determining its long-term competitive position and market share.
Crucially, Ford must balance the need to address immediate challenges with a forward-looking perspective. The company's strategic direction will need to encompass both short-term cost reduction measures and long-term investments in emerging technologies and market segments.

Ford Slides After New Profit Forecast, UAW Strike-Cost TallyFord pegged the cost of the six-week UAW strikes at $1.7 billion, more than rival GM's $1.1 billion estimate, while issuing an updated 2023 profit forecast.
Ford Motor (NYSE: F) - shares moved lower Thursday after the carmaker followed General Motors (GM) - Get Free Report in reinstating its full-year profit forecasts while noting it will lose around $1.7 billion from the United Auto Workers strike that ended late last month.
Ford said it sees adjusted full-year profit in the region of $10 billion to $10.5 billion, down from its July estimate of between $11 billion and $12 billion. Free cash flow should improve to between $5 billion and $5.5 billion.
The group reached a deal with the UAW on October 26 that will see members receive a 25% pay increase, including an initial boost of around 11% and a further 30% increase in cost-of-living adjustment payments. Ford said the contract would add $8.8 billion in costs over the 4 1/2-year contract.
GM said the six-week UAW strike would would clip around $1.1 billion from the group's bottom line. But as at Ford, GM said it would ultimately improve free cash flows thanks in part to strike-related shutdowns at various facilities around the country.
GM said it saw full-year adjusted profit in the region of $11.7 billion to $12.7 billion, down from its prior forecast of $12 billion to $14 billion. Diluted earnings, GM said, would likely come in between $7.20 and $7.70 a share, compared with its prior range of between $7.15 and $8.15 per share.
The carmaker also said it would boost its quarterly dividend by 33%, to 12 cents a share, starting in 2024 while immediately retiring $6.8 billion in GM stock through its new $10 billion buyback.
Ford is still within the rangeFord is still within the range
This chart shows the weekly candle chart of Ford Motor Company's stock from 2020 to present. The graph overlays the bottom to top golden section at the beginning of 2020. As shown in the figure, after peaking in early 2022, Ford Motor's company stock directly retreated to the 2.000 level above the bottom of the golden split in the figure, and began a one-year period of fluctuating consolidation of the market! At present, Ford Motor Company's stock is still within the range of volatility consolidation, and there is no sign of any strength to break through the existing range!
Ford to try for $14.50 breakout End of AprilI've been watching Ford since July of 21 where I made the call that it would climb to $20 by January of '22.
Looking at this chart again, and just being bullish on Ford anyway, it's set to run back up to $14.50 by the beginning of May, and may even try to spike higher.
With their advancements in EV and continually staying on top of the market, I believe that we'll see this stock climb once again.
I placed an order for a Buy to open 1 F 5/5/2023 13.00 C @ Market, Day

F Ford Motor Options Ahead of EarningsFord follows Tesla’s example and cuts price on Mustang Mach-E from as little as $600 to as large as $6,000. Most notable are the cuts to the Premium eAWD Standard range model, which takes it to $53,999 from $57,676.
Looking at the F Ford Motor options chain ahead of earnings , I would buy the $13.5 strike price Calls with
2023-2-3 expiration date for about
$0.21 premium.
If the options turn out to be profitable Before the earnings release, I would sell at least 50%.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

Ford is Breaking Out!Ford is breaking out! I bought some $13 Calls a week or two ago for .07 a contract and am currently up over 600%.
On this weekly chart you can see the breakout from a long bear trend. I am experimenting with the harmonics so let me know where I messed up, but I'm think I'm pretty close and that this is a valid projection. My target for Ford is $21.90 by August 2024 lol.
On the 4hr you can see the gap that I think will fill as we back test support. If this happens I will look to add to my current position and open some new positions with a longer expiry.
I am LONG Ford! Owhoooo!
