Proposed tariffs of 25% on auto imports from Canada and Mexico threaten the viability of major U.S. automakers like Ford and GM. Specifically, Ford could face a 50% stock decline if disruptions persist beyond 120 days due to their reliance on Canadian engines for the F-150, which accounts for 38% of U.S. sales. Additionally, prolonged tariffs could lead to regional recessions in the Midwest, increasing unemployment and reversing recent economic gains in areas dependent on the automotive industry. Stakeholders are encouraged to consult financial advisors to prepare for impending challenges.
CEO Farley expressed that proposed tariffs represent an existential threat to Ford, potentially leading to a 50% stock decline if disruptions exceed 120 days.
As 38% of Ford’s U.S. sales are from the F-150, heavily reliant on Canadian-made engines, prolonged tariffs could severely impact their supply chain.
The Midwest may face regional recessions and rising unemployment in auto-dependent areas if tariffs are enacted, reversing recent economic recovery trends.
Investors should consult financial advisors to prepare for potential crises, as smart investment practices are crucial in navigating upcoming economic uncertainties.
