Ford Motor Company (F), General Motors Company (GM): Russia May Be The Key

Page 2 of 2

Bottom line
While Russia’s market is just under 3 million vehicles in sales; it’s still a significant market and bright spot that looks to grow in a region marred by sales declines. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F)’s learned from its mistake of a slow start in China’s rapidly expanding market, and is looking to jump into its fellow BRIC emerging market Russia quicker than its competitors. If Ford and General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) look to break even in Europe – likely contributing to a surge in their respective stock prices – success with new model launches will be the large contributor. It’s something I’ll be keeping a close eye on, and other auto investors should too.
