Earnings Scheduled For May 6, 2025

BofA Securities analysts John Murphy and Federico Merendi shared their thoughts on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mobility">the automotive industry </a>on Wednesday, after organizing the Global Automotive Summit on April 15-16.
Tariffs are expected to pose challenges for automakers, with more updates anticipated as Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) release their first-quarter earnings, the analysts said.
Ford emphasized the need to compete more effectively with Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, who lead in battery innovation and rapid model development. 
While exploring potential partnerships, Ford is advancing its low-cost EV efforts through its Skunkworks initiative and expanding high-margin, stable subscription revenue from connected vehicles, with over 650,000 current subscribers, the analysts noted.
GM plans to leverage Cadillac's legacy further with participation in Formula One as a global growth strategy. Separately, Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) outlined its ongoing collaboration with Volkswagen AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) and its focus on cost reduction and brand visibility.

Demand for new vehicles remained strong leading up to the tariff news, with a continued uptick in foot traffic into mid-April. 
First-quarter gross profit per unit (GPU) is expected to hold steady or match fourth-quarter levels. Automakers appear to be adopting a wait-and-see approach to tariffs, with no immediate plans to increase vehicle prices.
In the ratings agency panel hosted by the analysts, S&amp;P classified both Ford and GM in the &#8220;High Risk&#8221; category, citing potential negative rating actions due to tariffs. 
While Ford's BBB-/N rating might see a CreditWatch Negative status, S&amp;P's timeline for such action remains uncertain, with a potential downgrade expected by late 2025.
The panelists agreed that tariffs could cost OEMs $6,000 to $8,000 per car, with the risk of passing costs to consumers. They expressed concern over supply chain disruptions, particularly regarding parts under USMCA protections and China's control over rare materials like batteries.

UBS Maintains Neutral on Lear, Lowers Price Target to $83

Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney is hitting the brakes on U.S. auto sales and global production forecasts, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/auto-industry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">citing tariff troubles and weaker consumer demand.</a>
Although the reciprocal tariffs announced on April 9 were delayed, still sector-specific tariffs (including auto tariffs) are projected to &#8220;remain in place,&#8221; the analyst cautions.
According to Delaney, the proposed tariffs would raise the cost of importing and manufacturing vehicles in the U.S. by at least a low- to mid-single-digit thousand-dollar level on average.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44733931/volkswagen-sees-ev-boom-in-europe-while-audi-battles-recall-woes-amid-tariff-turbulence" rel="noreferrer noopener">Volkswagen Sees EV Boom In Europe While Audi Battles Recall Woes Amid Tariff Turbulence</a>
The analyst highlights that the auto industry will have difficulty fully passing on these costs, particularly as consumer demand weakens.
Delaney assumes that new vehicle net prices in the U.S. will rise by about $2,000 to $4,000 over the next 6–12 months due to tariff impacts.
The analyst now projects U.S. auto sales to hit 15.40 million units in 2025 and 15.25 million in 2026, down from previous estimates of 16.25 million and 16.35 million, respectively.
Here are the key analyst downgrades of major auto players:
Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>): Delaney downgraded Ford from Buy to Neutral,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/F/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> with a price forecast of $9.</a>
While the analyst still sees long-term opportunities in Ford&#8217;s shift toward software, services and continued cost-cutting, Delaney downgraded the stock.
The change reflects a tougher cyclical environment marked by global competition, weaker demand, rising tariff-related costs, and a higher valuation relative to traditional auto peers.
General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>): Delaney reiterated the Buy rating on the stock, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GM/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $63.</a>
He lowered estimates to reflect a tougher cyclical outlook and rising competition, especially in China and globally.
However, Delaney noted that General Motors trades at a much lower P/E multiple than Ford and is expected to face slightly less impact from tariffs on its earnings.
Ford shares are trading lower by 5% to $9.025 at last check Thursday.
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): Regarding Tesla, Delaney acknowledged headwinds like weaker auto demand, softer consumer sentiment, tariff-related costs (including in its Energy division) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and risks tied to U.S. EV policies.</a> 
He highlighted Tesla&#8217;s long-term growth potential in AI and reiterated the company&#8217;s Neutral rating, with a price forecast of $260.
TSLA shares are trading lower by 9.95% to $11.24 at last check Thursday.
Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>): Delaney noted that the company faces risks from reduced U.S. EV policy<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RIVN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> support and a weaker economic backdrop.</a> The analyst maintained a Neutral rating on Rivian and a price forecast of $12.
RIVN shares are trading lower by 4.57% to $11.24 at last check Thursday.
Apart from these, the analyst writes that tier 1 suppliers like Lear Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEA#NYSE">LEA</a>) and Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VC#NASDAQ">VC</a>) will struggle to fully offset lower industry volumes. These stocks are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LEA/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">downgraded from Buy to Neutral.</a>
Delaney writes that Visteon and Lear have the highest tariff exposure as a percentage of EBIT, limiting their ability to offset tariffs, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VC/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">which is a downside risk.</a>
VC shares are trading lower by 10.5% to $66.01 at last check on Thursday, while LEA shares are trading lower by 8.89% to $75.50.
