Ford’s updated business strategy should bring investors off the sidelines as the company’s electric vehicle future becomes more clear, according to RBC Capital Markets.
The Detroit automaker unveiled a new turnaround plan at an investor day on Wednesday, which calls for more than $30 billion in investments in electric vehicles through 2025 and targets 40% of its sales as electric by 2030. The company also recently started accepting reservations for the all-electric F-150 Lightning.
RBC analyst Joseph Spak upgraded the stock to outperform from sector perform, saying in a note to clients on Thursday that the new plan addressed some lingering concerns about the company’s pivot to electric vehicles.
