文章核心观点 - 福特汽车(Ford)的股价今年上涨了约15%，而同期通用汽车(GM)上涨了近30%。尽管福特的第二季度财报可能表现平平，但投资者看到了几个推动股价上涨的催化剂，包括卡车销售的强劲表现、电动汽车制造资本支出的放缓以及公司现金流的增加，这可能带来更高的资本回报[2] 卡车销售 - 福特第二季度的整体销量同比增长了约1%，主要由卡车销量增长驱动，卡车销量增长了5%。旗舰F系列卡车销量达到199,463辆，环比增长30%，这可能是由于2024款F-150卡车的生产加速。F-150系列仍然是公司最赚钱的产品线，具有较高的利润率。福特的卡车产品线包括汽油、混合动力和电动卡车，帮助公司在卡车市场的各个细分市场中占据一席之地。混合动力F-150销量同比增长38%，达到33,674辆[3] 电动汽车转型 - 福特的电动汽车转型此前进展缓慢，但随着电动汽车市场需求放缓，这一问题有所缓解。特斯拉(Tesla)的交付量在第二季度下降了近5%，表明电动汽车需求正在降温。这为福特提供了更多时间来从其汽油车中获利，同时减缓其长期电动汽车开发的步伐。福特的Model E部门在运营层面亏损了13亿美元，而传统汽车部门则盈利了39亿美元。混合动力车市场正在复苏，福特的混合动力车销量同比增长56%，达到53,822辆，创下季度新高[4] 资本回报 - 福特的资本回报计划可能会进一步改善。公司的现金流强劲，2023年的自由现金流达到约68亿美元，远超预期。福特一直在支付每股约0.15美元的季度股息，并在3月份支付了每股0.18美元的特别股息。鉴于强劲的现金流，福特可能会增加特别股息。公司计划将年度自由现金流的40%至50%分配给股东，并将2023年的调整后自由现金流指引上调至65亿至75亿美元，高于最初的60亿至70亿美元[5] 股价表现 - 福特的股价从2021年1月初的9美元上涨到目前的约15美元，涨幅为65%，而同期标普500指数上涨了约50%。然而，福特的股价表现并不一致，2021年上涨了136%，2022年下跌了44%，2023年上涨了5%。相比之下，标普500指数在2021年上涨了27%，2022年下跌了19%，2023年上涨了24%。福特在2022年和2023年表现不佳，未能跑赢标普500指数[6] 市场前景 - 汽车市场面临一些挑战，尽管美国消费者价格指数(CPI)在5月份上涨了3.3%，但汽车价格有所下降。今年上半年，新车平均价格下降了3%。消费者信心减弱和高利率可能会在短期内抑制需求。尽管如此，福特的估值仍然具有吸引力，股价为2024年预期收益的7倍。预计福特的股价将达到每股15美元，比当前市场价格高出约7%[8]
