3 Reasons to Buy Ford Motor Company (F) Now

Alongside its vehicle quality, it has over 12 brands that represent almost every market segment in the auto industry. It manufactures everything from entry-level to ultra-luxury, such as Lamborghini, making its dependence on a single segment limited. With a diverse product line, and ultra-luxury that is less volatile with economic downturns, it’s a much safer bet than Ford and GM, which are largely dependent on the truck segment for profits.As you can see, Ford and GM combine to have 70% of the worst recalls in history. Ouch. Those two are doing all they can to reverse that image, and are making progress slowly, but surely. However, without the poor quality stigma, Volkswagen may be able to grow its share in the U.S. market.

Bottom line
More executives across the auto industry believe Volkswagen over any other manufacturer will increase its global share in the future. It has a well-rounded global strategy that limits its dependence on any one economy, and has potential gains left in the U.S. and Chinese markets. It has a wide range of vehicles in all the necessary segments, and has a proven record to produce quality vehicles with few defects or recalls. All those reasons are important for it to reach its No. 1 global sales leader, but those reasons also show how diverse and stable this company is. It has no dependency on any one segment or economy. It also has a significant amount of cash that gives it financial flexibility for the unknown.

This is a manufacturer that is a safe bet to return solid gains. It also has a real chance to reach its No. 1 goal, giving it a chance to return the industry’s best gains.
