Core Viewpoint - The imposition of 25% tariffs on imported cars and parts by the U.S. government is expected to disrupt the supply chain, increase vehicle costs, and challenge affordability, potentially leading to decreased demand in the automotive market [1][6][7]. Group 1: Market Performance - In Q1 2025, U.S. vehicle deliveries were strong, driven by consumers purchasing vehicles ahead of anticipated price increases due to tariffs, with March's seasonally adjusted annual rate estimated at 15.9 million units, a 0.2 million increase from the previous year [2]. - General Motors (GM) sold 693,363 units in Q1 2025, marking a 17% year-over-year increase, with significant gains across its brands and a 94% rise in electric vehicle sales to 31,887 units, making GM the second-largest EV seller in the U.S. [3]. - Toyota, Honda, and Nissan reported modest sales increases of 1%, 5.3%, and 5.7%, respectively, with Toyota's electrified vehicles accounting for 50.6% of total sales [4]. Group 2: Competitive Landscape - Ford's sales declined by 1.3% in Q1 2025 to 501,291 units, attributed to rental fleet sales timing and model discontinuations, although retail sales grew by 5% [5]. - All major automakers, including GM, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, hold a Zacks Rank of 3 (Hold), while Ford has a Zacks Rank of 5 (Strong Sell) [5]. Group 3: Future Outlook - The automotive industry faces uncertainty due to tariffs, with new vehicle prices nearing $48,000, and potential price hikes could further strain consumer affordability [6][7]. - S&P Global Mobility forecasts U.S. vehicle sales may decline to 14.5–15 million units in 2025 if tariffs persist, down from 16 million in 2024, due to economic uncertainty and inflation concerns [8].
