Goldman downgraded General Motors (GM) to Neutral and lowered its price target to $40 from $47 due to a weakness in China and softening US profit momentum. The firm's recent dealer visits in China indicate increased promotional activity and net price deterioration to support Shanghai GM JV product sales. Goldman said this, combined with margin pressure, will likely lead to a reduction in China guidance. For North America, the firm said Q1 carryover product pressure has extended into Q2 and could be pressured further with full availability of Ford's (F) F-150 heading into 2H 2015.

After this morning's collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland closed the Port of Baltimore, JPMorgan economist Michael Feroli noted that the port ranks 17th among U.S. ports in tonnage handled, but ranks first for light vehicle imports and is also an important coal export terminal. However, the firm's initial assessment is that this development will "likely only have minimal implications for vehicle inflation" given that many more vehicles are imported over land from Canada and Mexico and that vessels are already being diverted to other East Coast ports. Publicly traded automakers include Ford (F), General Motors (GM), Honda (HMC), Mercedes-Benz Group (DDAIF), Nissan (NSANY), Stellantis (STLA), Tesla (TSLA), Toyota (TM) and Volkswagen (VWAGY).
